Question

Which is shorter? 3/6 of a minute or 2/6 of an hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/6 of a minute

Step-by-step explanation:

3/6 can also be simplified to 1/2. So, 1/2 of a minute is 30 seconds. 2/6 can be simplified to 1/3. So, 1/3 of an hour is 20 minutes. 30 seconds is very much shorter than 20 minutes. Thus, 3/6 of a minute is shorter than 2/6 fo an hour.
