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.
Hospice Team Approach. Assisted hospice care provides compassionate comfort care to persons with a life-limiting illness. A team of dedicated doctors, nurses, counselors and volunteers offers physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Hospice care works best when there are months rather than days to establish relationships and support. You might want to consider hospice care when one or more of the following occur: 1  Progressive Loss of Function. 2  Repeated Hospitalizations. 3  Current Medical Treatment Outweighs the Benefit. 4  Decline Despite Curative Treatments. 5  Decision to Stop Curative Measures.
