To find out how long Tom played soccer, we need to subtract the duration of his basketball game from the total duration.
2 hours 15 minutes can be converted to minutes by multiplying 2 by 60 and then adding 15. This equals 135 minutes.
33 hours 42 minutes can also be converted to minutes by multiplying 33 by 60 and then adding 42. This equals 2022 minutes.
Therefore, to find out how long Tom played soccer, we subtract the duration of his basketball game from the total duration: 2022 minutes - 135 minutes = 1887 minutes.
To convert this back to hours and minutes, divide 1887 by 60 to get the number of hours and take the remainder as the number of minutes: 1887 / 60 = 31 with a remainder of 27.
Therefore, Tom played soccer for 31 hours 27 minutes.
