Question

Marla drives her car to school each day. If it takes her 12 minutes to drive one way, how many hours a week does Marla spend driving? (Express the answer in decimal form.)

Answer 1

1 hour is 60min.

Answer 2

So, if it's less than an hour, but we're looking for it in hours, that must mean we divide it, right?

Answer 3

I'm guessing so, these are ALS's for school and i dont understand them..

Answer 4

2 hours?

Answer 5

Ok. We know that in a metre there are 100cm.
56cm is 0.56m.
But it's a lil harder here cause hours is 60, not 100, min.

Answer 6

IT can't be two hours, cause 12 min is most definitely not more than an hour.

Answer 7

But to the metres; how did I get 0.56m? Well, I divided 56cm by 100cm.

Answer 8

Remind you that 100cm is 1m.

Answer 9

So, for this situation you take your current value that you have, 12min, and divide it by 1 hour, or 60min.

Answer 10

Thus, you get 12/60.
Sorry that took so long. I just want to make sure you get this stuff properly.
