@Rajat.
555/60=9.25 that can be written in fractional form by simplifying it as 37/4 since (15*37=555 & 15*4=60).

925/60 is not equal to 15, it is equal to 15 5/12 and you subtracted the 15 min but what about 25 sec? Please explain.

Why are you calculating it in the hour? why not in minutes?

(3/60)+(5/(60*60)) = 185/3600 = 37/720.
185, it is simple calculation babes.
(3/60)+(5/(60*60)) = 185/3600 = 37/720.
