EDIT : On further thought, I had it all wrong, and completely messed up. Props to @Lindseysalter84, who's answer is beneath mine's, for making me realize.
An hour is made up of 60 minutes. That would make the ratio 60 : 48 minutes. So now we would have to simplify. I take it real slow.
60 ÷ 2 = 30
48 ÷ 2 = 24
You can keep on simplifying.
30 ÷ 2 = 15
24 ÷ 2 = 12
It can still be simplified.
15 ÷ 3 = 5
12 ÷ 3 = 4
And so there's your answer in simplified form. [tex] \frac{5}{4} [/tex] is the answer in simplified form, otherwise known as 1[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex].
