Question

Tiana takes 3 hours to drive to the coast without stopping. How many minutes will it take her to reach the coast if she stops to rest for 20 minutes?

Answer 1

the time taken to drive to the coast is 3 hours.
1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes
therefore 3 hours are equivalent to - 60 x 3 = 180 minutes
she takes 20 minutes to rest therefore her ride gets delayed by 20 minutes
therefore total time it takes for to reach the coast - 180 + 20 = 200 minutes
answer is 200 minutes
