What fraction of an hour is 39 minutes

Answer: 13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert one hour to minutes

Since One hour = 60minutes

X = 39 minutes

Fraction of 39 minutes to 60 minutes

= 39 minutes/60 minutes

= 13/20

Check:

13/20 x 60minutes = 39 minutes

Answer: 13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 60 minutes = 1 hour

So, 39 minutes = Z hour (Let the unknown hour be Z)

Then to get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 60 = 39 x 1

60Z = 39

Divide both sides by Z

60Z/60 = 39/60

Z = 39/60

Let 3 divide through 39 and 60

So, Z = 13/20

Thus, 13/20 of an hour is 39 minutes
