OpenStudy (puzzler7):

Do 26.1*48 instead. That is seconds, so convert that to minutes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used a calculator...

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

I got a different answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i convert to minutes???

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

You divide by 60, because there are 60 second in a minute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now i got 21. 128?

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

1267.68 was not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 21.128 now.. is that right?

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

When you multiplied 26.1*48, that was not correct.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it was a correct step ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just not the final results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i did it again and it got 1252.8

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

That is correct. Continue on from there.

OpenStudy (puzzler7):

@amistre64 she multiplied wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
