Hi There!!!

I really hope that this answer helps you a lot!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Method:-

*We Can Use Simple Cross Multiplication*

But first lets find the 2/3 of 1hr. To do this lets change the hour to minutes

2/3 of 60min

$\frac{2}{3} * \frac{60}{1}$

2 * 60 = 120

3 * 1 = 3

= 120/3 Broken down to 40/1 OR 40

Then,

*Lets make the missing value "X". The missing value is what the question is asking us to find!*

200/3 = 60

  x      = 40

*Then you cross multiply*  

200/3 * 40

$\frac{200}{3} * \frac{40}{1}$

200 * 40 = 8000

3 * 1 = 3

= 8000/3   *This cannot be further broken down*

60 * X

= 60X

So its then,

8000/3 = 60X

*We are now looking for X so we have to get rid of 60, to do that we have to divide both sides by 60 to eliminate it*

X = (8000/3) ÷ 60

X = 44.4
