We need to convert 6 hours to minutes, which is 6 x 60 = 360 minutes.
Then, we can set up the ratio:
159 minutes : 360 minutes
To simplify the ratio, we can divide both sides by 3:
53 minutes : 120 minutes
And finally, we can write the ratio as a fraction in lowest terms:
53/120, which is answer choice C.
