Question

The secretary timed the two long distance phone calls. One call was 6 minutes, 35 seconds and the second call was 8 minutes, 42 seconds. What is the total time of the phone calls?

Answer 1

15minutes and 17 seconds

Explanation:

6+8=14min

35+42=77sec

then we convert the seconds to minutes

so 77 is going to be a minute and 17 sec

so we add it to the 14 minutes before

so 14+1=15

then the final answer is 15 minutes and 17 seconds
