Answer 2

Given,

3 minutes 56 seconds of an hour.

To find,

Given duration in percentage.

Solution,

To find the given duration in percentage, we need to have all the quantities in similar units.

So, firstly, let's convert them all into seconds. This can be done as follows.

As we know, 1 h = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 s. So,

1 h = 60×60 = 3600 s, and,

3 minutes = 3×60 = 180 s.

Here, we also have extra 56 seconds, according to the problem.

So, we need to add 56 seconds to get the duration which we are required to find as a percentage of an hour. Thus, the total duration will be

= 180 + 56

= 236 s

Now, this duration, as a percentage of 1 hour will be

$=\frac{236}{3600} \times 100$

$= 6.555 \%$

≈ 6.56%.

Therefore, 3 minutes 56 seconds is 6.56% of an hour.
