Solution:
We have to find out 1% of 1 hour, this means that we are computing how much time is 1% of an hours’ time.Generally, we know that an hour constitutes a total of 60 minutes, and each minute constitutes 60 seconds.
So we can write the total number of seconds in an hour is 60×60 which is 3600 seconds.
Now using the formula of percentage to find 1% of 1 hour is:
It can be simplified as:
⇒1×36
It is 36 seconds.
Therefore, the total number of seconds in 1% of 1 hour is 36 seconds.
Now, we have to convert into minutes,
Thus, 1 minute has total 60 seconds; therefore 36 seconds will be x minutes,
Now write it as mathematically, we get
On cross multiplying we get:
⇒x×60 = 1×36
Both sides we can multiply the term we get:
⇒60x = 36
On dividing 60
on both sides we get
On dividing the terms we get:
⇒x = 0.6
Therefore 1% of 1 hour is 0.6 minutes.
