Final answer:
To determine the time spent by Dinesh in meetings, we need to add up the time for each meeting. An example with Maria's activities shows us how to calculate the total time by adding minutes and converting them to hours. Without Dinesh's specific times, we cannot give a precise answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how much time Dinesh spent in meetings over a month, we need to add the time spent in each meeting. Although the question does not provide specific timings for Dinesh, it seems to be a mix-up with another problem involving Maria. Maria's time management problem can be used as an example to address a similar question for Dinesh. If Maria spent 1 hour 25 minutes at the mall, 20 minutes driving, and 15 minutes at the post office, we can add these times together.
- 1 hour 25 minutes
- 20 minutes
- 15 minutes
We start by adding the minutes together:
25 minutes + 20 minutes + 15 minutes = 60 minutes
Now, we convert 60 minutes to 1 hour and add it to the initial 1 hour:
1 hour + 1 hour (from the 60 minutes) = 2 hours
So, Maria's total time spent is 2 hours. If we apply the same logic to Dinesh, we would be able to determine the total time he spent in meetings if we had the specifics of his schedule.
