Question

Jody practiced a piano piece for 500 seconds bill practiced a piano piece for 8 minutes who practiced longer explain

Answer 1

Jody

Explanation:

You can either convert 500 seconds to minutes or 8 minutes to seconds to compare. I'll do both.

There is 60 seconds in a minute. To find the total minutes of 500 seconds, divide 500 by 60 → 8.3, which means that Jody practiced for 8.3 minutes.

To find the total seconds of 8 minutes, multiply 60 seconds per minute by 8 minutes → 60 * 8 = 480 seconds which means that Bill practiced for 480 seconds.

Now you can compare. Jody practiced for 500 seconds, or 8.3 minutes. Bill practiced for 480 seconds, or 8 minutes. Jody practiced longer.
