Levi worked in his neighbor's yard for 8 hours trimming the trees. After trimming, he bagged up the trimmings in 40 minutes.
How many minutes did he work in the yard altogether?
first you multiply 8 x 60 to get the amount of minutes levi had while trimming the trees which would get you 480 minutes then you just add the 40 minutes he had while bagging the trimming which would bring your total to 520 minutes.
To find out how many minutes Levi worked in the yard altogether, we need to add the time spent on trimming the trees (in hours) to the time spent bagging the trimmings (in minutes).
Levi worked for 8 hours trimming the trees, which is equal to 8 * 60 = 480 minutes.
He also spent 40 minutes bagging up the trimmings.
Therefore, to find out the total time he worked in the yard, we add 480 minutes (trimming time) and 40 minutes (bagging time).
480 + 40 = 520.
So, Levi worked in the yard altogether for 520 minutes.
If he worked 8 hours, and you need to convert to minutes, you multiply by 60.
8 x 60 = 480
480 + 40(the minutes he took to bag everything up) = 520
520 minutes
