Solution

Step-1: Convert $h r$ into $m i n$
$1 h r$ $=$ $1 \times 60 =$ $60 m i n$ ( As $1 h r = 60 m i n$ )
Step-2: Write $40 m i n$ and $60 m i n$ in the form of a ratio
$40 m i n$ and $60 m i n$ $=$ $40 : 60$
Step-3: Simplify the ratio $40 : 60$
$40 : 60$ $=$ $\frac{40 \div 20}{60 \div 20}$ ( To simplify $40 : 60$ divide it by HCF of $40$ and $60$ The HCF of $40$ and $60$ is $20$ )
$40 : 60$ $=$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $=$ $2 : 3$
Hence, the ratio of $40 m i n$ to $1 h r$ is $2 : 3$
