Question

In a long-distance relay contest, Team A completed the race in 5 2/3 hours, and Team B completed the race in 294 minutes. How much longer did it take Team A to complete the race than Team B? Answer the question in hours first, and then in minutes.

Answer 1

46 minutes.

Explanation:

2/3 of an hour = 40 minutes.

So....5 hours 40 minutes.

294 minutes is 6 minutes shy of 5 hours. (300 minutes)

40 + 6 = 46 minutes
