Question

Jackson worked out for 6 hours and 30 minutes last week . He worked out for 5 hours and 45 minutes this week . How much longer did he work out last week, compared to this week ?

Answer 1

To calculate the difference between the time Jackson worked out last week and this week, we need to subtract the time he worked out this week from the time he worked out last week:

6 hours 30 minutes - 5 hours 45 minutes

To subtract the minutes, we need to "borrow" 1 hour (60 minutes) from the 6 hours and add it to the minutes, giving us:

5 hours 90 minutes - 5 hours 45 minutes

Now we can subtract the minutes:

= 1 hour 45 minutes

Therefore, Jackson worked out 1 hour and 45 minutes longer last week compared to this week.
