Question

What percentage is each of the following?

$36$ minutes of $2$ hours.

Answer 1

Given: $36$ minutes of $2$ hours.

We know that

$1$hour $=60$ minutes

$\Rightarrow 2$ hours $=2\times 60=120$ minutes

We know that for calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by $100$.

$36$ minutes of $2$ hours $=36$ minutes of $120$ minutes

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{36}{120}\times 100 \\ =\frac{3}{10}\times 100 \\ =\frac{300}{10} \\ =30\% \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $36$ minutes is $30\%$ of $2$ hours.
