Question

Increase 2 hour 30 minute by the ratio of 6:5​

Answer 1

Answer:

we get 180 minutes; this is equivalent to 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving this problem is easier if we convert 2 hr 30 min to min:  150 min.

In the ratio 6:5, the 5 represents the 150 min and we need to determine how long the time interval will be if increased in this ratio.

We write and solve an equation of ratios:

6        x

--- = ------                          This becomes 5x = 900 through cross multiplication.

5     150

solving this for x, we get 180 minutes; this is equivalent to 3 hours.
