2. Converting Time

To convert hours and minutes to minutes, 

we need to remember that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

For example, 

  1. \(1 \text{ h } = 60 \text{ min }\)
  2. \(2 \text{ h } = 120 \text{ min }\)
  3. \(\begin{align}​​\\ ​1 \text{ h } 20 \text{ min } &= 60 \text{ min } + 20 \text{ min } \\ &​=80 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

 

Question 1: 

Kenny took \(2 \text{ h } 25 \text{ min }\) to reach the airport by train. How long did Kenny take to reach the airport in minutes?

Solution:

Break \(2 \text{ h } 25 \text{ min }\) into hours and minutes.

​ Break 2 h 25 min into hours and minutes  ​

\(\begin{align}​​ 2 \text{ h } 25 \text{ min } &= 2 \text{ h } + 25 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 120 \text{ min } + 25 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 145 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

Answer:

\(145\text{ min }\)

 

Question 2:

Write the following in minutes.

write 5 h in minutes

  1. 60 minutes
  2. 180 minutes
  3. 240 minutes
  4. 300 minutes

Solution:

\(\begin{align}​​ 5 \text{ h } &= 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } \\[2ex] &= 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 300 \text{ min }  \end{align} \)

Answer:

(4) 300 minutes

 

Question 3:

Write the following in minutes.

write 1 h 50 min in minutes

  1. 50 minutes
  2. 60 minutes
  3. 100 minutes
  4. 110 minutes

Solution:

\(\begin{align}​​ 1 \text{ h } 50 \text{ min } &= 60 \text{ min } + 50 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 110 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

Answer:

(4) 110 minutes

 

Question 4:

Write the following in minutes.

write 4 h 45 min in minutes

  1. 240 minutes
  2. 245 minutes
  3. 285 minutes
  4. 295 minutes

Solution:

\(\begin{align}​​ 4 \text{ h } 45 \text{ min } &= 4 \text{ h } + 45 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 240 \text{ min } + 45 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 285 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

Answer:

(3) 285 minutes

 

Question 5:

The movie ‘Musical Return of Gitan’ lasted for \(140 \text{ min}\). How long was the movie in hours and minutes?

Solution:

Break \(140 \text{ min}\) into hours and minutes.

​ Break 140 min into hours and minutes  ​

\(\begin{align}​​ 140 \text{ min } &= 120 \text{ min }+ 20 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 2 \text{ h }+ 20  \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 2 \text{ h } 20 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

Answer:

2 h 20 min

 

Question 6:

Look at the following.

express 62 minutes in hours and minutes

  1. 1 h
  2. 1 h 2 min
  3. 1 h 12 min
  4. 1 h 20 min

Solution:

\(\begin{align}​​ 62 \text{ min } &= 60 \text{ min }+ 2 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 1 \text{ h } + 2 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 1 \text{ h } 2 \text{ min } \end{align} \)

Answer:

(2) 1 h 2 min

 

Question 7:

Write in hours and minutes.

express 185 minutes in hours and minutes

  1. 2 h 5 min
  2. 3h  5 min
  3. 3 h 15 min
  4. 4 h 25 min

Solution:

Break \(185 \text{ min}\) into hours and minutes.

​ Break 185 min into hours and minutes  ​

\(\begin{align}​​ 185 \text{ min } &= 60 \text{ min }+ 60 \text{ min }+ 60 \text{ min }+ 5 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 1 \text{ h }+ 1 \text{ h }+ 1 \text{ h }+ 5  \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 3 \text{ h }+ 5 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 3 \text{ h } 5 \text{ min } \end{align} \)

Answer:

(2) 3 h 5 min

 

Question 8:

Write in hours and minutes.

express 475 minutes in hours and minutes

  1. 6 h 45 min
  2. 6 h 55 min
  3. 7 h 45 min
  4. 7 h 55 min

Solution:

Break \(475 \text{ min}\) into hours and minutes.

​ Break 475 min into hours and minutes  ​

\(\begin{align}​​ 475 \text{ min } &= 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 60 \text{ min } + 55 \text{ min } \\[2ex] &= 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h } + 55 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 7 \text{ h } + 55 \text{ min }\\[2ex] &= 7 \text{ h } 55 \text{ min } \end{align}\)

Answer:

(4) 7 h 55 min
