To convert the given(246 pieces of candy in 4 hours and 45 minutes) into how many pieces of candy in one hour, you need to convert it first from minutes per hour. An hour has 60 minutes so if the time given is 4 hours and 45 minutes, that is 285 minutes if converted. divide 246(candies) to 285(minutes) to get the candies per minute so that is 0.86315789473 candies per minute. Multiply it by 60 to get the candies per hour so that is 51.7894736842 candies per hour or 51.8 pieces of candies Tyrese can eat in one hour.
