Question

it takes collin 24 minutes to walk to school in the morning. what fraction of his 24-hour day is spent walking to school in the morning? 1/1440 1/60 1/24 1/12

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 24 hours to minutes

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, 24 hours = \(24\times60 = 1440\) minutes.

Step2: Find the fraction

The time spent walking is 24 minutes. So the fraction is \(\frac{24}{1440}\), which simplifies to \(\frac{1}{60}\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 24 minutes over 1440 minutes. Wait, 24/1440 = 1/60? Wait, no, 1440 ÷24 = 60. So 24/1440 = 1/60? Wait, no, 24 divided by 1440: divide numerator and denominator by 24, 24÷24=1, 1440÷24=60. So 1/60? Wait, but let's check again. Wait, 24 minutes is the time spent, and the total day is 24 hours = 1440 minutes. So the fraction is 24/1440. Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 24: 24÷24=1, 1440÷24=60. So 1/60? Wait, but the options have 1/60 as an option. Wait, but let me check again. Wait, 24 minutes out of 1440 minutes. 24/1440 = 1/60. Yes. Wait, but wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 24 hours is 1440 minutes. So 24 minutes is 24/1440 = 1/60. So the correct option is 1/60? Wait, but let's check the options. The options are 1/1440, 1/60, 1/24, 1/12. So 24 minutes is 24/1440 = 1/60. So the answer is 1/60. Wait, but let me confirm. 1 hour is 60 minutes, 24 hours is 1440 minutes. So 24 minutes is 24/1440 = 1/60. Yes. So the correct option is 1/60.

Answer:

B. 1/60 (assuming the second option is labeled B, but since the original options are listed with circles, the second option is 1/60, so the answer is the option with 1/60, which is the second one. So the answer is 1/60, corresponding to the second option.)
