Convert minute to quarter
Learn how to convert
1
minute to
quarter
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(minute\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(quarter\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(second\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(minute\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 60.0\left(second\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 60.0\left(s\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(quarter\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 7.776 \times 10^{6}\left(second\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 7.776 \times 10^{6}\left(s\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(minute\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(quarter\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 60.0} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(second\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 7.776 \times 10^{6}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(second\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 60.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(s\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 7.776 \times 10^{6}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(s\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 60.0} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(s\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 7.776 \times 10^{6}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(s\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(60.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 7.776 \times 10^{6}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} = 60.0\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} \times \dfrac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}} = 60.0 \times \dfrac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{7.776}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{6}}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{7.776}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{10^{6}}}} = 60.0 \times \dfrac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{60.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}\)
Rewrite equation
\(\dfrac{1.0}{10^{6}}\text{ can be rewritten to }10^{-6}\)
\(\text{Rewrite}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{10^{-6} \times 60.0}{7.776}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.000007716\approx7.716 \times 10^{-6}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(minute\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 7.716 \times 10^{-6}}\left(quarter\right)\)
