If I took 480 minutes a day in school (that would be 8 hours a day in school), and there is 4 weeks in a month, and all together we spend time in 10 months in school, if 1 hours is 60 minutes, then how much time and days to we spend in school.

You spend 480 minutes per day at school. We will assume that you go to school for 5 days per week.

480 minutes × 5 days = 2,400 minutes per week

There are 4 weeks in a month, so we will multiply the minutes per week by 4 weeks to get the monthly time spent in school.

2,400 minutes per week × 4 weeks = 9,600 minutes per month

You are in school for 10 months, so we will multiply the minutes per month by 10.

9,600 minutes per month × 10 months = 96,000 minutes in school

Now, we will divide the time in school by the number of minutes in school per day.

96,000 minutes in school ÷ 480 minutes per day = 200 days in school

Answer: 96,000 hours or 200 days
