1 answer

To find out what 1% of an hour represents, first, we need to calculate 1% of 60 minutes.

1% of 60 minutes is calculated as follows:

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

Now, to convert 0.6 minutes into seconds:

1 minute = 60 seconds, therefore:

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

So, 1% of an hour represents 36 seconds.
