Question

What is the ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of seconds in a minute = 60 seconds.

Number of seconds in an hour = (Number of minutes in an hour)*Number of seconds in a minute

=60*60=3600

Therefore,the ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour

=60/3600

=1/60

=1:60

Answer 2

Given,

Nothing has been given.

To find,

The ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour.

Solution,

The ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour will be 1:60.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

We know that there are 60 seconds in one minute and 60 minutes in one hour.

1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60 min

Converting 60 minutes into seconds,

1 hour = (60×60) sec

The ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour = Seconds in a minute:seconds in an hour

Ratio = 60:(60×60)

Ratio = 1:60

(Note that the sign of ratio is often taken to be as the that of the division.)

Hence, the ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour is 1:60.
