Question

Mr Thompson cut the grass on the golf course 1.683 minutes. How many hours did it take to cut the grass? Write the answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.683 minutes = 0.02085 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

$\text{1 minute = }\frac{1}{60}\text{ hours}\\\\\implies\text{1.683 minutes = }\frac{1}{60}\times 1.683\text{ hours}\\\\=0.02805\text{ hours}$

Now, to give the answer as a mixed number : Convert the answer obtained in decimal into fraction

$\implies \frac{2805}{100000}\text{ Hours}$

But as the numerator is less than the denominator so the answer cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
