There are 60 minutes in an hour. This is the simple, man-made concept to keep in mind when calculating minutes as a fraction of an hour. The best way to understand the calculation of minutes as fractions of an hour is to first visualize some common hour-fractions which we see every day.nd twenty minutes equals twenty times one-sixtieth (i.e., 20 x 1/60), which is one-third (20/60 = 1/3) of an hour. We have now mastered the art of calculating minutes as fractions of the hour.
Your oncologist or primary care doctor may recommend hospice services to you if you are estimated to have 6 months or less to live. The goals of hospice are to: 1  Help you live comfortably at the end stage of your life.  Help you and your family cope with the changes that are happening.
When most people think of hospice care, they think of an inpatient facility or hospital. Hospice can provide inpatient care for those in nursing or other facilities but we can also help those who wish to remain in their own homes. Many people want to stay in a familiar environment and remain as close as possible to loved ones. We believe hospice care should be available where the patient lives, no matter where that is. Understandably, providing care to a terminally ill person can be emotionally difficult and physically stressful. Hospice services can include respite care, where we offer caregivers a short break to rest and recharge.
