Well, it seems like that radio had a real commitment to providing some tunes! From Friday 5:30 PM to Sunday 8:15 PM, that's a total of... drumroll please... a whopping 50 hours and 45 minutes of uninterrupted radio play. That's a lot of music for a weekend trip! Maybe that radio was auditioning for its own radio show.
To determine the total time the radio was playing, we can calculate the elapsed time from Friday 5:30 PM to Sunday 8:15 PM.
Step 1: Calculate the elapsed time on Friday.
From 5:30 PM to 11:59 PM is 6 hours and 29 minutes.
So, the elapsed time on Friday is 6 hours and 29 minutes.
Step 2: Calculate the elapsed time on Saturday.
There are 24 hours in a day.
So, the elapsed time on Saturday is 24 hours.
Step 3: Calculate the elapsed time on Sunday.
From 12:00 AM to 8:15 PM is 8 hours and 15 minutes.
So, the elapsed time on Sunday is 8 hours and 15 minutes.
Step 4: Add the elapsed times from each day.
6 hours and 29 minutes (Friday) + 24 hours (Saturday) + 8 hours and 15 minutes (Sunday) = 38 hours and 44 minutes.
Therefore, the radio was playing for a total of 38 hours and 44 minutes.
To figure out the total time the radio was playing, we need to calculate the time between when the boy turned on the radio on Friday and when he turned it off on Sunday.
First, let's identify the starting time. The boy turned on the radio at 5:30 PM on Friday night.
Next, let's determine the ending time. The boy turned off the radio at 8:15 PM on Sunday.
To calculate the time difference, we need to consider the time from Friday 5:30 PM to Sunday 8:15 PM.
Step 1: Calculate the time from Friday 5:30 PM to midnight (12:00 AM):
- Friday 5:30 PM to midnight = 6 hours and 30 minutes (since 12:00 AM is the start of a new day)
Step 2: Calculate the time for the whole day on Saturday:
- The whole day has 24 hours.
Step 3: Calculate the time from midnight on Sunday (12:00 AM) to 8:15 PM:
- Midnight to 8:15 PM = 8 hours and 15 minutes
Step 4: Add up the time from step 1, step 2, and step 3:
- 6 hours and 30 minutes + 24 hours + 8 hours and 15 minutes = 38 hours and 45 minutes
Therefore, the radio was playing for a total of 38 hours and 45 minutes.
