Question

60,000 min = Hr

What is the best way to figure out the answer?

Answer 1

How many minutes in an hour?

What do you think you should do with those two numbers?

Answer 2

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. I think 60,000 divided by 60

Answer 3

60,000 min (1 hour/60 min) = 1,000 min

do units so the ones you do not want cancel

Here I used 1 hr/0 min so min cancelled

If I had hours and wanted minutes I would multiply by
( 60 min/1 hour )

This is easy when you only have one conversion but when you get to Chemistry and other science you have to do a lot of them at once and the canceling thing is important.

Answer 4

That is the answer I got too. 1,000. Ty for helping me on this

Answer 5

60,000 min (1 hour/60 min) = 1,000 hours

do units so the ones you do not want cancel

Here I used 1 hr/60 min so min cancelled

If I had hours and wanted minutes I would multiply by
( 60 min/1 hour )

This is easy when you only have one conversion but when you get to Chemistry and other science you have to do a lot of them at once and the canceling thing is important.

Answer 6

The important thing is that your conversion factor has to be the same top and bottom although in different units

60 min IS 1 hour
so 60 min/1 hour is the same numerator and denominator

Thank you!
