Question

Samir’s soccer team drove to Groveton for a double-header on Saturday. The first game lasted 1 hour and 18 minutes. After the first game, his team had 2 hours and 31 minutes to eat lunch and rest. Then, they played their last game that lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes. How long did Samir's team spend in Groveton?

Answer 1

Samir's team spent a total of 5 hours and 4 minutes in Groveton, including the first game, the break for lunch and rest, and the last game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total time Samir's team spent in Groveton, we add the durations of the first game, the break, and the last game together.

Add the time of the first game: 1 hour 18 minutes.Add the break time: 2 hours 31 minutes.

Add the time of the last game: 1 hour 15 minutes.

Now, let's add up the minutes part of each activity: 18 minutes + 31 minutes + 15 minutes = 64 minutes. Since 60 minutes make an hour, we have 1 hour and 4 minutes.

Next, we add the hours: 1 hour (first game) + 2 hours (break) + 1 hour (last game) + 1 hour (from the minutes we converted) = 5 hours.

To get the final answer, we add the remaining 4 minutes to the 5 hours: 5 hours and 4 minutes.
