Question

Express the $6hours:1day$ in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Step I - Let's convert $day$ into $hours$.

As, $1day=24hours$

Step II - Let's write $6hours:24hours$ in the fraction form.

We can write, $6hours:24hours$ = $\frac{6}{24}$

Now we know that $6$ is the highest common factor which can divide both the numbers.

So, $\frac{6}{24}$ = $\frac{6÷6}{24÷6}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the simplest form for $6hours:24hours$ in fraction = $\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, the $6hours:1day$ in the simplest form = $1:4$.
