Question

what is the ratio of number of seconds in a minute to second in an hour​

Answer 1

Given:

Number of seconds in a minute and seconds in an hour.

To find:

Ratio of number of seconds in a minute to seconds in an hour.

Solution:

We have,

Number of seconds in 1 minute  $N_{m} =60$ $sec$

Number of seconds in 1 hour $N_{h} =60$ × $60$

                                                      $=3600$ $sec$

Now,  

Ratio of number of seconds in one minute to seconds in one hour will be

$R=\frac{N_{m} }{N_{h} }$

$R=\frac{60}{3600}$

$R=\frac{1}{60}$

Final answer:

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