What percent is one minute of an hour:

Correct answer: B. 1.66%

  • A. 66%
  • B. 1.66%
  • C. 60%
  • D. 1/60 %

Explanation

To determine what percent one minute is of an hour, recognize that there are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, one minute is 1/60th of an hour. To express this as a percentage, you multiply by 100, resulting in (1/60) * 100% = 1.67%. Option B is the correct answer. Option A, 66%, is far too large, and Option C, 60%, is incorrect as it represents the proportion of an hour relative to itself. Option D, 1/60 %, does not correctly convert the fraction to a percentage.
