Amy helped her out aunt pick tomatoes from her garden. It was hard work and it made her back hurt, but it was worth it. Those juicy fresh tomato sandwiches would be delicious! They picked tomatoes from 7:32 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. For how long did Amy and her aunt pick tomatoes?
My answer : 283 minutes
28 minutes to 8 AM + 4:15 = ?
Sorry, didn't go down enough to see your answer.
4:43 = 283 minutes
Yep!
To find out how long Amy and her aunt picked tomatoes, you can subtract the starting time from the ending time.
The starting time is 7:32 a.m. and the ending time is 12:15 p.m.
First, let's convert the times to a common format, such as hours and minutes.
7:32 a.m. = 7 hours and 32 minutes
12:15 p.m. = 12 hours and 15 minutes
Now we can subtract the starting time from the ending time:
12 hours and 15 minutes - 7 hours and 32 minutes
To perform the subtraction, we need to align the minutes and hours separately:
(12 hours - 7 hours) + (15 minutes - 32 minutes)
12 - 7 = 5 hours
15 - 32 = -17 minutes
Since we have a negative number of minutes, we need to compensate by subtracting 1 from our hours:
5 hours - 1 hour = 4 hours
So Amy and her aunt picked tomatoes for 4 hours.
To find the total minutes, we can multiply 4 hours by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
4 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes
Therefore, Amy and her aunt picked tomatoes for 240 minutes.
