? reads,"7th place driver had a time that was 18.5 min slower thatn the driver ahead of him(2hr 43min 7sec), what was his time in hrs, min & sec.? What was the diff. btwn 1st and 7th? Calculate the winner's time in hrs. only(answer correct to 3 decimal places). Winners time: 2hrs. 37min. Several more questions like these?
Thanks!
Each minute has 60 seconds.
18.5 minutes = 18 minutes 30 seconds
Add that to 2 hr 43 min 7 seconds for the driver ahead of him, since his time (7th) will be greater.
Subtract 2 hr 37 min from the previous answer for difference between 1st and 7th.
Winner's time = 2 hours and 37 min. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Get minutes as fraction of hour and convert to a decimal.

75 seconds:2 minutes, as a fraction
To solve these questions, we will need to work with time calculations. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Finding the 7th place driver's time:
- The driver ahead of the 7th place driver had a time of 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 7 seconds.
- The 7th place driver's time is 18.5 minutes slower than the driver ahead.
- To find the 7th place driver's time, subtract 18.5 minutes from 2 hours and 43 minutes.
2 hours, 43 minutes - 18.5 minutes = 2 hours, 24.5 minutes
So, the 7th place driver's time is 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 30 seconds.
2. Finding the difference between the 1st and 7th place drivers:
- To find the difference, subtract the 7th place driver's time from the 1st place driver's time.
Since we already know the 7th place driver's time is 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 30 seconds, we need to convert the 1st place driver's time, which is given as 2 hours and 37 minutes, to seconds and then subtract.
2 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 7200 seconds
37 minutes * 60 seconds = 2220 seconds
Total time for the 1st place driver: 7200 seconds + 2220 seconds = 9420 seconds
Now, subtract the 7th place driver's time of 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 30 seconds from the 1st place driver's time of 9420 seconds.
9420 seconds - (2 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds + 24 minutes * 60 seconds + 30 seconds) = difference in seconds
The difference between the 1st and 7th place drivers is the difference in seconds obtained above.
3. Calculating the winner's time:
- The winner's time is given as 2 hours and 37 minutes.
To convert this time to hours only, we divide the minutes by 60 and add it to the hours. Then round the result to 3 decimal places.
2 hours + (37 minutes / 60) = winner's time in hours only
Calculate the above expression to get the winner's time in hours only.
