Question

Find the ratio in simplest form.

15 minutes to 2 hours

1/8
2/15
15/2

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1/8

Answer 2

To find the ratio in simplest form, the unit hours must be converted into minutes. 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes so 2 hours is 120 minutes. The simplest form is then
`(15)/(120) = (1)/(8)`

The correct answer is 1/8.
