A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

One-fourths of an hour is 15 minutes thus 45 minutes will be 3 one-fourths of an hour so option (C) will be correct.

What is a fraction?

The fraction is the division of the two numbers but the division is not wholly complete.

In another word, if we divide two numbers by each other then the upper word is called the numerator, and a lower word is called the denominator.

In 1 hour ⇒ 60 minutes.

Divide by 4

1/4 hour ⇒ 60/4 minutes

1/4 hour ⇒ 15 minutes

Now,

45/15 = 3

In 45 minutes there are 3 one-fourths of an hour.

Hence "One-fourths of an hour is 15 minutes thus 45 minutes will be 3 one-fourths of an hour".
