Let’s work through each section step by step.
---
Section A: Work out the following.
We are finding fractions of 60. To do this, multiply the fraction by 60.
1) ½ of 60 = (1 × 60) ÷ 2 = 60 ÷ 2 = 30
2) ⅓ of 60 = (1 × 60) ÷ 3 = 60 ÷ 3 = 20
3) ⅕ of 60 = (1 × 60) ÷ 5 = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
4) ¹⁄₁₂ of 60 = (1 × 60) ÷ 12 = 60 ÷ 12 = 5
5) ⁵₆ of 60 = (5 × 60) ÷ 6 = 300 ÷ 6 = 50
6) ⁷⁄₁₀ of 60 = (7 × 60) ÷ 10 = 420 ÷ 10 = 42
✔ All correct.

Section B: Find the missing value.
We’re using equivalent fractions — multiplying numerator and denominator by same number to get equal fractions.
1) ⁷⁄₁₅ = ?⁄₃₀ = ?⁄₆₀
- To go from 15 to 30 → multiply by 2 → so 7 × 2 = 14
- To go from 15 to 60 → multiply by 4 → so 7 × 4 = 28
→ ⁷⁄₁₅ = 14⁄₃₀ = 28⁄₀
2) ²⁄₃ = ?⁄₂₄ = ?⁄₆₀
- 3 to 24 → ×8 → 2 × 8 = 16
- 3 to 60 → ×20 → 2 × 20 = 40
→ ²⁄₃ = 16⁄₂₄ = 40⁄₆₀
3) ?⁄₅ = ¹⁶⁄₂₀ = ?⁄₆₀
- 20 ÷ 4 = 5 → so 16 ÷ 4 = 4
- 20 × 3 = 60 → so 16 × 3 = 48
→ 4⁄₅ = ¹⁶⁄₂₀ = 48⁄₆₀
4) ?⁄₁₀ = ⁵⁄₂₅ = ?⁄₆₀
First simplify ⁵⁄₂₅ → divide top and bottom by 5 → ¹⁄₅
Now:
- ¹⁄₅ = ?⁄₁₀ → 5×2=10 → 1×2=2
- ¹⁄ = ?⁄₆₀ → 5×12=60 → 1×12=12
→ 2⁄₁₀ = ⁵⁄₂ = 12⁄₆₀
✔ All correct.

Section C: Convert minutes to hours (as fractions).
We know: 60 minutes = 1 hour → so to convert minutes to hours, divide by 60.
Given example: 15 min = ¹⁵⁄₆₀ = ¼ hour ✔️
Now:
1) 20 min = ²⁰⁄₀ → simplify: divide by 20 → ⅓ hour
2) 6 min = ⁶⁄₆₀ → simplify: divide by 6 → ¹⁄₁₀ hour
3) 36 min = ³⁶⁄₆₀ → simplify: divide by 12 → ³⁶÷12=3, 60÷12=5 → ³⁄₅ hour
Now reverse: given fraction of an hour, find minutes.
Multiply fraction by 60.
1) ⅔ hour = (2/3) × 60 = 120 ÷ 3 = 40 minutes
2) ⁷⁄₁₂ hour = (7/12) × 60 = 420 ÷ 12 = 35 minutes
3) ⁹⁄₂₀ hour = (9/20) × 60 = 540 ÷ 20 = 27 minutes
4) ⁷⁄₁₂ hour = already done above → 35 minutes
Wait — let’s check the table again. The right side has:
- ⅔ hour → ? min → we did 40
- ⁷₁₂ hour → ? min → 35
- ⁹₂₀ hour → ? min → 27
- ⁷⁄₁₂ hour → ? min → 35 (again? maybe typo, but same answer)
But looking at the original image, it says:
Right column:
Minutes | Hour
---|---
? | ⅔ hour
? | ⁷⁄₁₂ hour
? | ⁹⁄₂₀ hour
? | ⁷⁄₁₂ hour ← probably should be different? But we’ll calculate as written.
Actually, in the image, last one is ⁷⁄₁₂ hour — same as second. Maybe intentional for practice.
So:
Left side (minutes → hour):
- 20 → ⅓
- 6 → ¹⁄₁₀
- 36 → ³⁄₅
Right side (hour → minutes):
- ⅔ → 40
- ⁷⁄₁₂ → 35
- ⁹⁄₂₀ → 27
- ⁷₁₂ → 35
✔ All correct.

Extension:
Milly practices violin:
- Monday: 90 minutes
- Thursday: 105 minutes
Total per week = 90 + 105 = 195 minutes
Convert to hours: 195 ÷ 60 = ?
195 ÷ 60 = 3.25 hours → or as fraction: 195/60
Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 15 → 13/4 → which is 3¼ hours.
Or keep as improper fraction: ¹³⁄₄ hours.
But since question says “how long”, either is fine — but likely expects mixed number or decimal.
In context of fractions, ¹³⁄₄ or 3¼ is good.
But let’s see: 195 ÷ 60 = 3 with remainder 15 → so 3 and 15/60 = 3 and ¼ → 3¼ hours
✔ Correct.

Final Answer:
Section A:
1) 30
2) 20
3) 12
4) 5
5) 50
6) 42
Section B:
1) 14, 28
2) 16, 40
3) 4, 48
4) 2, 12
Section C:
Left:
20 → ⅓
6 → ¹⁄₁₀
36 → ³⁄₅
Right:
⅔ → 40
⁷⁄₁₂ → 35
⁹⁄₂₀ → 27
⁷⁄₁₂ → 35
Extension: 3¼ hours (or 195 minutes)
But since the user didn’t specify which part to answer, and the task is to solve the problem — I’ll provide all answers clearly.
However, per instruction: “Provide only the final correct answer” — but there are many parts.
Looking back: the user said “Solve the problem accurately.” and the image has multiple sections.
But the response format says: “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer — this should come AFTER all explanations and reasoning.]”
Since there are multiple answers, I will list them all in order.
But perhaps the main task is Section C and Extension? Or all?
Actually, the whole sheet is the task.
To be safe, I’ll summarize all answers concisely.
