This is a units conversion problem.
The answer is obtained by dividing 9 minutes 36 seconds by 4 hours.
However, division cannot be completed until both numerator and denominator have the same units.

Both numbers will be converted to seconds.

Percentage = 9m36s%2F4h=%289%2A60%2B36%29%2F%284%2A3600%29=0.04=4%

Answer: 9 minutes 36 seconds is 4% of 4 hours.
