Johns football game last for 50 minutes. What reduced fraction of an hour is that?
Can someone please explain to me how to solve this question?
50/60 = 5/6
How do I solve it?
50 minutes of 60 minutes = 50/60
50/60 is simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 10.
50/60 = 5/6
Oh great! Thanks!
You're welcome.
To find the reduced fraction of an hour for a given number of minutes, you need to divide the number of minutes by 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour. Here's how you can solve the question:
1. Divide the number of minutes by 60: 50 ÷ 60 = 0.83.
2. The decimal answer can be converted to a fraction by placing the decimal value in the numerator and putting 1 as the denominator. In this case, the fraction is 0.83/1.
3. To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, GCD(83, 1) = 1.
4. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD to get the reduced fraction: 0.83 ÷ 1 = 0.83.
So, the reduced fraction of 50 minutes is 0.83/1 or simply 0.83.
