marcus rides his bicycle of 3 1/8 hour per day. what is the number of seconds that marcus spends riding his bike each day?
My answer: 11,250 is this correct?
Correct!
To convert 3 1/8 hours to seconds, you need to follow these steps:
1. Convert 3 1/8 hours to a mixed fraction. 3 1/8 can be written as 25/8 in improper fraction form.
2. Multiply the number of hours (25) by the number of seconds in one hour. One hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds. So, one hour contains 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds.
3. Multiply the number of minutes (8) by the number of seconds in one minute (60). That results in 8 x 60 = 480 seconds.
4. Add the number of seconds obtained from step 2 (3600 seconds) to the number of seconds obtained from step 3 (480 seconds).
5. The total number of seconds Marcus spends riding his bike each day is 3600 + 480 = 4080 seconds.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4080 seconds, not 11,250 seconds.
