Answer:
7/30
Explanation:
To write the ratio in its simplest form, we first convert hours to minutes
1 hr = 60 min
4 hrs = 240 min
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{56\min}{4hr}=\frac{56\min}{240\min}[/tex]Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 8 gives
[tex]\frac{56\min}{240\min}=\frac{56\min \div8}{240\min \div8}=\frac{7}{30}[/tex]Hence, the simplest ratio is 7 / 30.
