Question #e1b17

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Let's call the number of hours we are looking for: `h`

And, let's call the number of mins: `m`

Because there are 60 minutes in an hour we can write the equation for `h` as:

`h = m/60`

So, if you had `color(red)(60)` minutes you could substitute this for `color(red)(m)` and solve for `h` giving:

`h = color(red)(60)/60`

`h = 1`

Answer 2

m/60 hours in m minutes

Explanation:

We know there are 60 min in 1 hour ... 60 min= 1 hr
So there are 60h min in h hours .... 60h min = h hours
So there are 60h minutes in h hours.
Now, to reverse this to get hours in m minutes
Start again with
60 min = 1 hr
60m min = m hr
m min = m/60 hr
So there are m/60 hours in m minutes

Check
If m=60 minutes
60 min = 60/60 hr = 1 hr
