Answer 1

Given:

Time in seconds = 48 seconds.

Formula Used:

Fraction of an hour = ${\text{Given seconds}\over \text{Total seconds in one hour}}$

$\frac{\text{Time in seconds}}{\text{Total seconds in an hour}}$ Calculation:

Total seconds in an hour = 60 minutes × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Fraction of an hour = 48 / 3600

⇒ Fraction of an hour = 4 / 300

⇒ Fraction of an hour = 1 / 75

The fraction of an hour that 48 seconds represents is 1/75.
