Question

A movie is 1 7/8 hours long. After 45 minutes how much of the movie is left

Answer 1

To solve this, we need to convert both the movie length and the time passed into the same unit, preferably minutes.

1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, and 7/8 of an hour is 7/8 * 60 = 52.5 minutes.

So, the total movie length is:

1 hour + 52.5 minutes = 60 minutes + 52.5 minutes = 112.5 minutes.

Now, after 45 minutes have passed, the time left will be:

Total movie length - Time passed = 112.5 minutes - 45 minutes = 67.5 minutes.

Therefore, after 45 minutes have passed, there are 67.5 minutes of the movie left.

Answer 2

67 minutes and 30 seconds

Explanation:

1 7/8 x 60 = 112.5 minutes

112.5 - 45 = 67.5 minutes or 67 minutes and 30 seconds
