Solved: 40 ನಿಮಿಷವು ಒಂದು ಗಂಟೆಯ ಎಷ್ಟನೇ ಭಾಗ? | Mathematics

Understand the units involved.
The question asks to express 40 minutes as a fraction of an hour. We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.
Set up the fraction.
To find what fraction 40 minutes is of an hour, we put the given minutes over the total minutes in an hour.
$\text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Given minutes}}{\text{Total minutes in an hour}}$ $\text{Fraction} = \frac{40}{60}$
Simplify the fraction.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. Both 40 and 60 are divisible by 20.
$\frac{40}{60} = \frac{40 \div 20}{60 \div 20}$ $\frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}$
So, 40 minutes is $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hour.
