Step1: Recall time - unit conversion

1 hour = 60 minutes, so the conversion factor from minutes to hours is $\frac{1}{60}$ hours per minute.

Step2: Recall mass - unit conversion

1 gram = 1000 milligrams, so the conversion factor from grams to milligrams is 1000 milligrams per gram.

Step3: Recall volume - unit conversion

1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter and 1 liter = 1000 milliliters, so 1 cubic decimeter = 1000 milliliters. The conversion factor from cubic decimeters to milliliters is 1000 milliliters per cubic decimeter.

Answer:

a. $\frac{1}{60}$ hours per minute
b. 1000 milligrams per gram
