Question

If i do something 445 times in 1min and 30 seconds how many can i do in a hour

Answer 1

Hello Nathan,

We could convert 1 min 30 seconds in minutes. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute, so 30 seconds would equal 0.5 minutes. Therefore: 1 min 30 seconds = 1.5 minutes.

Also, there are 60 minutes in one hour, so to find how times you'd accomplish the activity in one hour, you would:

1. Divide 445 by 1.5
2. Multiply the result by 60

You can enter (445/1.5)*60 in your calculator. Make sure to put parentheses the way I put them and you will get the right answer.

Cheers!
