Question

You have planned activities of 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 1.5 minutes, and 0.75 minutes. How many total hours of activity do you have planned? (To the nearest whole number) a.) 1 b.) 2 C.) 2.5 D.) 3

Answer 1

(A) 1 Hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we add the given time in minutes.

`\begin{gathered} 30+15+1.5+0.75 \\ =47.25\text{ Minutes} \end{gathered}`

Next, we convert from minutes to hours.

`\begin{gathered} 60\text{ Minutes = 1 hour} \\ \text{Therefore:} \\ 1\text{ Minute }=(1)/(60)\text{ Hours} \\ 47.25\text{ Minutes}=(1)/(60)*47.25=0.7875\text{ Hours} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, you have a total of 0.7875 hours of activity planned.

To the nearest whole number, you have a total of approximately 1 hour of activity planned.
