Further explanation

The Problem:

What is 36 minutes as a fraction of an hour?

The Process:

This time we will complete how to express minutes as a fraction of an hour.

We already know that one hour is 60 minutes, or there are 60 minutes in an hour.

$\boxed{ \ 1 \ hour = 60 \ minutes \ }$

Or it can also be written as follows:

$\boxed{ \ 60 \ minutes = 1 \ hour \ }$

To express the number of minutes as a fraction of an hour, we place the number of minutes above 60 and simplify. In other words, we divide the number of minutes by 60.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{36}{60} = \ ? \ of \ an \ hour \ \ }$

Divide both 36 and 60 by 12, since HCF (highest common factor) is 12.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{36 \div 12}{60 \div 12} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{5} \ }}$

Thus, 36 minutes is $\frac{3}{5}$ of an hour.
