Question

One minute is 1/60 of an hour. What part of an hour is 12 minutes?

Could you please give me the full way of how to do this? Also this is multiplication.
Thanks. ☺

Answer 1

1/5

If one minute is 1/60, then 12 minutes is 12/60, which simplifies to 1/5

Answer 2

12 minutes is 12/60 of an hour. or you could simplify it and it would be 1/5 of an hour. You could figure this out by multiplying 1 * 12. Then since its an hour and there are 60 minutes in an hour, you would put 12 over 60.
