Question

Divide 14 hours and 40 minutes by 5
you must give your answer in hours and minutes

Answer 1

2 hours and 56 minutes.

Explanation:

To divide 14 hours and 40 minutes by 5, we need to convert everything to minutes first.

14 hours is equal to 14 x 60 = 840 minutes.

So, 14 hours and 40 minutes are equal to 840 + 40 = 880 minutes.

Dividing 880 minutes by 5 gives us:

880 ÷ 5 = 176 minutes

Now, we need to convert the answer back to hours and minutes.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we can find how many hours are in 176 minutes by dividing by 60:

176 ÷ 60 = 2 with a remainder of 56.

So, the answer is 2 hours and 56 minutes.
