Step 2: Convert Time Units if Necessary

You might need to convert the time unit in the problem to a different unit, depending on what fraction you’re being asked to find. If you’re looking for a fraction of an hour, for instance, you might find it easier to work in minutes.

Step 3: Calculate the Fraction

To find a fraction of a time unit, multiply the time unit by the given fraction. If the fraction is given as a common fraction (like \(\frac{1}{2}\) or \(\frac{3}{4}\)), remember to divide the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal before you multiply.

Step 4: Interpret the Result

Understand what your result means in terms of the original time unit. Depending on the problem, you might need to convert your answer back into a different unit.
