first covert hours to minutes, so the units are the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one hour is 60 minutes, so 4 hours is \(4\times 60=2400\) minutes
then compute
\[\frac{2400}{90}\]
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
You need to use the smae units. Since you have hours and minutes, convert hours to minutes first. Then you can write the ratio as
(minutes in 4 hours)/(minutes in 90 minutes)
Then rduce the fraction.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
finally reduce the fraction to lowest terms.
you can start with \(\frac{2400}{90}=\frac{240}{9}\) and reduce further
