Question

aFor a summer fundraiser, Rob is doing manual labor to help several families do home improvement projects. He is tracking the amount of time he spends each week with a spreadsheet. If his spreadsheet shows that during the past two weeks, he spent a total of 11,040 minutes working, how many days and hours has he worked?

a. 6 days and 6 hours
b. 6 days and 16 hours
c. 7 days 16 hours
d. 7 days 7 hours

Help !

Answer 1

1 day = 24 hrs

1 hr = 60 min

24*1 hr = 24*60 min

24 hrs = 1440 min

1 day = 1440 min


Do you see where to go from here?

Answer 2

still need more help :/

Answer 3

Ok, here's another way to do it


Divide 11,040 into 60 to convert 11,040 minutes to hours:

11040/60 = 184

So 11040 minutes = 184 hours

--------------------------------------------------------

Now divide this into 24 to get


184/24 = 7 remainder 16


This means that 184 hours = 7 days, 16 hours

Answer 4

So 11,040 minutes = 7 days 16 hours
