If his spreadsheet shows that during the past two weeks, he spent a total of four thousand eight hundred minutes working, how many days and hours has he worked?

3 days and 8 hours

3 days and twenty hours

6 days and sixteen hours

8 days

Answer 1

Uhmm... well... 4800/60 = # hours

# hours/24 = # days

Convert partial days into hours.

Answer 2

How many minutes are there in an hour?

Answer 3

is that a serious question?

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

It's part of the problem.

Answer 6

60

Answer 7

I think @mathstudent55 is trying to guide you to the answer. If you know how many minutes are in an hour and how many hours are in a day, you should be able to figure this out.

Answer 8

Good.
How many hours in a day? (Yes, it's a serious question again.)

Answer 9

24

Answer 10

Maybe the question should be: what part of the problem are you struggling with, exactly?

Answer 11

Good.

Answer 12

You are given a large number of minutes.
Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, you see that for a certain amount of time, the number of hours is a small number compared to the number of minutes.
If you divide the number of minutes by 60, you get the number of hours.

Answer 13

4800/60 = ?
