Answer:

The answer is 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved with a simple proportion. 5/12 = 45/1. For 5 to become 45, you need to multiply by 9. You do the same to the denominator. 12 times 9 is 108.

The answer would be 108. 108:45 can be simplified to 12:5.

An instructional video is 4.2 minutes long. How long is the video in seconds? How long is it in hours?
valkas [14]
First we convert it in seconds.

Number of seconds in 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
Number of seconds in 4.2 minutes = 4.2 x 60 = 252 seconds.

Next we convert it in hours.

60 minutes make up an hour. So we can write,
Number of hours in 60 minutes = 1 hour
Number of hours in 1 minute = 1/60 hour
Number of hours in 4.2 minutes = 1/60 x 4.2 = 0.07 hour


Therefore, the video is 252 seconds or 0.07 hour long.
