Question

Which is greater: 1:57 p.m. or 80 minutes?

a) 1:57 p.m.
b) 80 minutes

Answer 1

1:57 p.m. is greater than 80 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare 1:57 p.m. to 80 minutes, we need to convert both into the same units. Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can convert 1:57 p.m. to hours by multiplying it with the conversion factor of 60 minutes per hour.

1:57 p.m. = 1 hour + 57 minutes = 1 + (57/60) = 1.95 hours

Now, comparing 1.95 hours to 80 minutes, we can see that 1.95 hours is greater than 80 minutes.

So, the answer is 1:57 p.m. is greater than 80 minutes.
