**Cathy uses her iPad timer when she gives her class 1 minute quick quizzes.**

**According to Cathy’s iPad timer, there is 24 seconds remaining and 36 seconds have past. What fraction of the minute is left?**

To determine the fraction of the minute that is left, we need to calculate how much time remains and then express that as a fraction of the total time (1 minute).

1. **Total time for the quiz**: 1 minute = 60 seconds.
2. **Time remaining**: 24 seconds.
3. **Fraction of the minute remaining**:

\[
\text{Fraction remaining} = \frac{\text{Time remaining}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{24 \text{ seconds}}{60 \text{ seconds}} = \frac{24}{60}
\]

4. Simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}
\]

So, the fraction of the minute that is left is **\(\frac{2}{5}\)**.
