Answer 1

Answer:

How long will someone take to build 49 houses. If he take 23 days, 19 hours, and 41 minutes to build a house?

I'm assuming this is a homework question.

This is a conversion problem. You can approach this two different ways and check your answer

49 x 23 days = xx days

49 x 19 hours = yy hours

49 x 41 minutes = zz minutes

Add all these together to get the time required for 49 houses.

However, you’ll need to convert minutes to hours and hours to days etc. The answer Must be in days, hours (less than 24) and minutes (less than 60)

Example 25 hours would be 1 day and 1 hour

so convert your minutes to hours by dividing by 60. The whole number will be hours and the remainder will be minutes

So, zz/60 = whole number and remainder add the whole number to yy hours

(yy+n)/24 Take all your hours and divide by 24 to get days

24 hours = 1 day
