Question

1. Find the ratio of each of the following in the simplest form:
a) 2 hours to 36 seconds​

Answer 1

1 hour = 60 seconds
2 hours = 120 seconds

36. 12. 6 3
——- = ——- = —— = ——
120 40 20 10


So the ratio is 3:10

Answer 2

Answer:

200:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out the ratio of 2hours to 26 seconds in simplest form.

Now,

To convert seconds into hours divide the time value by 3600.

1 second = 0.000278 hrs

36 seconds = 0.01 hrs

→ 2/0.01

→ 2/1 × 100

→ 200/1

→ 200:1

Similarly, there is one more way. To do that convert hours into seconds. To convert hours into seconds multiply the time value by 3600.

1 hour = 3600 seconds

2 hrs = 7200 seconds

→ 7200/36

→ 200/1

→ 200:1

Hence, 200:1 is the ratio of 2hours to 26 seconds in simplest form.
