Question

How many minutes in 2 1/2 hours

Answer 1

150 minutes

Explanation:

Note that 1 hour = 60 minutes

and half an hour =
`(1)/(2)` × 60 = 30 minutes

thus 2 hours = 2 × 60 = 120 minutes

2
`(1)/(2)` hours = 120 + 30 = 150 minutes

Answer 2

150 minutes

Explanation:

2 x 60 = 120

.5 x 60 = 30

120 + 30 = 150
