Question

Missy’s sister,Jolly the Carpenter has 10 orders that she needs to finish in 24 hours. She has to make a table which will take her 1.5 hours,a rocking horse which will take 45 mins,a rocking chair which will take 50 mins,2 chairs which will take 54 minutes each,a duck call which will take 30 mins,a wooden car toy which will take 45 mins ,a huge boat which will take 5 hours,and a tiny toy table which will take 15 minutes. How many minutes will she have left over ?

Answer 1

Let's convert all the times to minutes for easier calculations.

1.5 hours = 90 minutes

45 minutes = 45 minutes

50 minutes = 50 minutes

54 minutes = 54 minutes

30 minutes = 30 minutes

45 minutes = 45 minutes

5 hours = 5 x 60 = 300 minutes

15 minutes = 15 minutes

To find the total time Jolly will spend on all the orders, we add up all the times:

90 + 45 + 50 + 54 + 54 + 30 + 45 + 300 + 15 = 683 minutes

Jolly has 24 hours = 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes to complete all the orders. To find out how many minutes she will have left over, we subtract the total time she will spend on the orders from the total time available:

1440 - 683 = 757 minutes

Therefore, Jolly will have 757 minutes left over after completing all 10 orders.
