With 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute, what amount of time does 1% of an hour represent?(1 point) Responses 6 minutes 6 minutes 36 seconds 36 seconds 1 minute 1 minute 100 seconds 100 seconds

Answer 1

To find 1% of an hour, we first need to determine how many minutes are in an hour.

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

Now, we can calculate 1% of 60 minutes:

\[ 1% \text{ of } 60 \text{ minutes} = \frac{1}{100} \times 60 = 0.6 \text{ minutes} \]

Next, we convert 0.6 minutes to seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we calculate:

\[ 0.6 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 36 \text{ seconds} \]

Therefore, 1% of an hour represents 36 seconds.

So the correct response is 36 seconds.
