To express 55 minutes as a fraction of 11/3 hours, we need to find the equivalent fraction.
Step 1: Convert 11/3 hours to minutes.
To find the number of minutes in 11/3 hours, we need to multiply the fraction by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
11/3 * 60 = (11 * 60) / 3 = 660/3 = 220 minutes
Step 2: Express 55 minutes as a fraction of 220 minutes.
Now that we have the same units (minutes), we can create the fraction:
55/220
Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (in this case, 5):
55/220 = (55 ÷ 5) / (220 ÷ 5) = 11/44
So, 55 minutes is equivalent to 11/44 hours.
