(14 hr 3 min) divided by 3. how do i go about solving this
I'd convert it to minutes. 14x60=840 (plus the 3 minutes)=843minutes
Divide 843 by 3 = 281minutes
Then convert back to hours and minutes... 281 divided by 60 = 4hr (leave out the decimals since they represent the left over minutes)
4x60=240 (this is the time already accounted for by the hours..)
281-240=41 (this is how many minutes you had left over)
so... 4 hours and 41 minutes.
Unfortunately , the expression and measurement of time is not metric, so we have to make some changes.
(similar to the US method of working in miles, yards, feet and inches)
(14 hrs, 3 min)/3
= (13 hrs, 63 min)/3
= 4 1/3 hrs, 21 minutes
= 4 hrs, 20 min , 20 min
= 4 hrs and 41 minutes
or ...
change everything to minutes
= 843/3 minutes
= 281 minutes
= 4 hours, 41 minutes
To solve this problem, you can convert hours and minutes to a single unit (minutes) and then perform the division. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert 14 hours into minutes.
Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, you multiply 14 by 60.
14 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 840 minutes.
Step 2: Convert the 3 minutes to minutes (since it's already in the correct unit).
3 minutes.
Step 3: Add the converted hours and minutes together.
840 minutes + 3 minutes = 843 minutes.
Step 4: Divide the total minutes by 3 to get the result.
843 minutes / 3 = 281.
Therefore, (14 hr 3 min) divided by 3 equals 281.
you can convert the hours to minutes
14 X 60 = 840 then add the 3 minutes
840 +3 =- 843 then divide
843/3 = 281
then divide by 60 = 4 hours and 41 minutes
