Question

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. use a tape diagram to find the total number of minutes in 6 hours and 15 minutes

Answer 1

Answer: 375 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let for 6 hours 15 minutes there are x minutes.

That is , $6\frac{15}{60}\text { hours} = x\text { minutes}$

⇒ $6\frac{1}{4}\text { hours}= x\text { minutes}$

⇒ $\frac{25}{4}\text { hours}= x\text { minutes}$

⇒ $25\text { hours}= 4x\text { minutes}$

⇒ $1\text { hour}= \frac{4x}{25}\text { minutes}$

But, According to the question,

1 hour = 60 minutes.

$\frac{4x}{25}= 60$

$4x = 1500$

$x= 375$

Thus, There are 375 minutes in 6 hours and 15 minutes
