Cody wants to watch a new movie that is 3 hours long. He has watched 1/6 of the movie so far. What fraction of one hour did Cody spend watching the new movie?

Respuesta :

Well firstly we must find the amount of minutes spent watching. 
Which is 3 * 60  = 180mins.
Then we find 1/6 of 180 = 30
We now know Cody has watch 30 minute of the movie.
To find what fraction this is of an hour we divide it by minutes in an hour:
30/60 which is 1/2

Therefore the answer is 1/2 of an hour
