Question 657917


Write the ratio of {{{4min}}} to {{{1h}}}: 

Solution: 

Express the {{{minutes}}} in terms of the {{{hour}}} using the relationship between them. Notice {{{minutes}}} represent the smaller unit and {{{hour}}} represent the larger unit. 
We will have to convert {{{hour}}} (the larger unit) into {{{minutes}}} (the smaller unit).
 
{{{1 h = 60min}}}
 
Therefore the ratio of {{{4min}}} to {{{1h}}} is the same as the ratio of {{{4min}}} to {{{60min}}}.

That is: 

{{{4min/60min=1/15}}}
