Question

If you have 6 lessons a week in mathematics, each lesson being 38 minutes long, what is the total time spent in mathematics lessons in a ten week term?

Answer 1

2280 minutes.

Explanation:

Time spent each week in lessons = (Lessons per week)(Time per lesson)

= (6)(38)

= 228 minutes/week

Time spent in a 10-week period:

10 weeks * 228 minutes/week

= 2280 minutes

Use conversion factors to determine the time in the desired units (i.e. Hours, seconds, etc.).

Hope this helps!
