What is $\frac{3}{4}$ of an hour?

Question

Verified by Toppr

Answer 1

$1$ hour is $60$ minutes, and there are four $15$ minute intervals. So, if there are four intervals of $15$ minutes that add up to $60$ , just take three of them and put them over four:
$\frac{1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5}{1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5} = \frac{4 5}{6 0}$
Or we could multiply one hour or $60$ minutes by $\frac{3}{4}$
$= 60 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6 0}{1} . \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6 0 . 3}{4 . 1} = \frac{1 8 0}{4} = 45$

hour is

60

minutes, and there are four

15

minute intervals. So, if there are four intervals of

15

minutes that add up to

60

, just take three of them and put them over four:

\frac{1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5}{1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5 . 1 5} = \frac{4 5}{6 0}

Or we could multiply one hour or

60

minutes by

\frac{3}{4}

= 60 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6 0}{1} . \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6 0 . 3}{4 . 1} = \frac{1 8 0}{4} = 45
