There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

So if the machine produces 3000 sausages an hour, it will produce 60 times less sausages in one minute :)

There are 60 minutes is one hour.
It makes in one hour.

what if you wanted to find out for 2 or 3 hours, or each 15 minutes. why divide by 60 right off the bat? then it will always have to be one hour?
