Question

K. 16 7. It takes Collin 24 minutes to walk to school in the morning. What fraction of his 24-hour day is spent walking to school in the morning? A. B. 1 1,440 1 60 1 24 C. D. 1 20 1 12 E. ACT-Z16 15

Answer 1

In order to find the corresponding fraction, first let's convert the 24 minutes to hours:

$24\text{ minutes}=24\cdot\frac{1}{60}hour=\frac{2}{5}\text{ hour}$

Now, let's divide this amount of time by 24 hours:

$\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{24}=\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{24}=\frac{1}{60}\text{day}$

So the corresponding fraction is 1/60.
