Question

a school starts at 8 a.m. and gets over at 2 p.m. with the recess time of 30 minutes. find the ratio of total time to the recess time

Answer 1

Total time (in mins) = 6*60

= 360 mins

Recess time (in mins) = 30 mins

$\frac{Total time}{Recess time}$

or,

$\frac{360}{30}$     dividing by 30

1. =  $\frac{12}{1}$

1. ∴ 12 : 1

1.   Total time : Recess

1. Or recess is one twelfth of the total time
