Step-by-Step Solution

First put the whole into the unit the answer needs: 3 hours = 180 minutes. Then of 180 is 180 ÷ 6 = 30 minutes. 60 minutes would be of the time, and answering 6 just copies the denominator instead of working with the whole.
Answer: C) 30

Key idea: Mixed numbers and improper fractions

An improper fraction like 11/4 can be rewritten as a mixed number. Divide 11 by 4: 11 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 3. So 11/4 = 2 + 3/4 = 2 3/4. Going the other way: 2 . Both forms name the same number — you choose the one that's easier for the situation. For arithmetic, improper fractions are usually friendlier; for everyday speech, mixed numbers are.
