Final answer:
The actual time it took to complete the job was 380 minutes, which is equivalent to 6 hours and 20 minutes, after dividing the minutes by 60 to convert them into hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student wants to know how many hours it actually took to complete a job that was done in 380 minutes. To convert minutes to hours, we use the fact that 1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes.
Divide the total minutes by 60 to find out how many full hours there are:
380 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 6 hours with a remainder of 20 minutes.
Thus, it actually took 6 hours and 20 minutes to complete the job, not 3 hours 80 minutes as stated in the question.
