Question

8min 15sec ❌ 15 Multiply the following​

Answer 1

Answer:

123 mins 35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply, we need to convert them into common units.

So, I'll be converting minutes to seconds.

Here I go!

1 minute= 60 seconds

8 mins = 8 × 60

= 480 secs

8 min 15 sec = 480 secs + 15 secs

= 495 s

Multiplying it by 15:

= 495 × 15

= 7425 seconds

Hang on! I know the problem with most of our schools, they don't let us take it easy. So, we'll have to convert seconds back into minutes.

Step 1

Divide 7425 by 60

Quotient = 123 (nice!)

Remainder = 35

Now, your quotient represents minutes and your remainder represent seconds!

Answer:

123 minutes 35 seconds
