A student skipped a step when she tried to convert 11 hours to seconds, and she got the following incorrect result: http://media.apexlearning.com/Images/201305/31/2d15026c-c719-480f-b404-ea8893e31406.gif What conversion ratio did she skip in this multiple-step conversion?

OpenStudy (3mar):

May I help?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Are there choices, or just single blank?

OpenStudy (chycora):

yes

OpenStudy (chycora):

them are it^

OpenStudy (3mar):

I see

OpenStudy (chycora):

okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

It would be like that \[11hr*\frac{ 60\min }{ 1hr }*\frac{ 60\sec }{ 1\min }=39600seconds\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

So the choice will be ....#???

OpenStudy (chycora):

B

OpenStudy (3mar):

I think it is already included in the conversion expression. Search for another one.

OpenStudy (chycora):

huh

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes

OpenStudy (chycora):

i don't understand so am i correct is the answer B or A

OpenStudy (chycora):

so am i correct yall i'm so confused

OpenStudy (3mar):

Step by step! Don't worry.

OpenStudy (3mar):

11hr∗60min1hr∗60sec1min=39600seconds we have 11hr∗60sec/1min in the expression, what remains?

OpenStudy (chycora):

60sec/1min

OpenStudy (chycora):

right :/

OpenStudy (3mar):

11hr∗60min1hr∗60sec1min >>>>>>> this is the right one 11hr∗60sec/1min >>>>>>> this is what is written in the question 60min1hr >>>>>>> this is the missing part easy!

OpenStudy (chycora):

OpenStudy (3mar):

OpenStudy (3mar):
