To calculate the percentage of 2 minutes and 24 seconds in an hour, we need to find the fraction of an hour that corresponds to 2 minutes and 24 seconds, and then convert that fraction to a percentage.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2 minutes is 2/60 or 1/30 of an hour.
Similarly, there are 60 seconds in a minute, so 24 seconds is 24/3600 or 1/150 of an hour.
Adding these two fractions together, we have:
1/30 + 1/150 = 5/150 + 1/150 = 6/150 = 1/25.
Therefore, 2 minutes and 24 seconds is 1/25 of an hour.
To convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
(1/25) * 100 = 4%.
So, 2 minutes and 24 seconds is approximately 4% of an hour.
