Question

It takes Maggie 12 minutes to walk to school. How many hours does it take to walk to school and back? ( 5 school days per week)

Answer 1

Maggie spends 12 minutes per trip, in one day she makes 2 trips and we are asked to calculate how many hours she spends on these trips in 5 days

First, we will do this calculation in minutes

`12\cdot2\cdot5=120`

She spends 120 minutes per week, now let's do the unit conversion, converting the minutes to hours, let's remember that one hour is the same as 60 minutes.

`120\min \cdot(1hr)/(60\min )=2hr`

The answer is 2 hours
