Question

It took Jason 3 minutes and 48 seconds to complete a practice page in class. How many total seconds did Jason take to complete the practice page?

Answer 1

Answer: 228

Explanation:

3 X 60 = 180

180 + 48 = 228

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, one minute equals 60 seconds. Then, we make the conversion:

`\frac {60 \ s} {1 \ m} * 3 \ m = 180 \ s`

Thus, 3 minutes equals 180 seconds.

Now:

`180 + 48 = 228`

So, it took Jason 228 seconds to complete a practice page in class.

Answer:

228 seconds
