Question

How many minutes are in m hours?

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

We can solve this using ratios:

`60 min: 1` `hr -> x: m` `hr`

Or

`(60 min)/(1 hr) = x/(m hr)`

`color(red)(m hr) * (60 min)/(1 hr) = color(red)(m hr) * x/(m hr)`

`color(red)(m color(black)(cancel(color(red)(hr)))) * (60 min)/(1 color(red)(cancel(color(black)(hr)))) = color(red)(color(black)(cancel(color(red)(m))) color(black)(cancel(color(red)(hr)))) * x/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(m))) color(red)(cancel(color(black)(hr))))`

`60m minutes = x`

Therefore there are `60m` minutes in `m` hours.
