Question

Find the ratio of $36\mathrm{minutes}$ to $\mathrm{One}\mathrm{hour}$

Answer 1

Given:

$36\mathrm{minutes}$ to $1\mathrm{hour}$

Two quantities are not in the same units. So, we have to convert them into the same units.

$1\mathrm{hour}=60\mathrm{minutes}$

$36\mathrm{minutes}$ to $1\mathrm{hour}$$=$$\frac{36\mathrm{minutes}}{60\mathrm{minutes}}\left[\mathrm{Note}:\mathrm{HCF}(36,60)=12\right]$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{3}{5} \\ =3˸5 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the ratio of $36\mathrm{minutes}$ to $1\mathrm{hour}$ is $3˸5$
