How many minutes are there until Emma's gymnastics lessons?

Answer 1

148

Explanation:

You want to know the number of minutes from 3:32 pm to 6:00 pm.

Minutes

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the 2 hours between 3:32 and 5:32 will be a total of 2·60 = 120 minutes.

The number of remaining minutes in the hour between 5 pm and 6 pm is ...

60 -32 = 28

So, the total number of minutes between 3:32 pm and 6:00 pm is ...

120 +28 = 148 minutes

There are 148 minutes from 3:32 pm until Emma's gymnastics lesson.

Additional comment

Degrees and hours both are subdivided into 60 parts called minutes. Some calculators can use this to do calculations when hours (degrees) and minutes are given. The result will generally be expressed in hours (degrees), which can be converted to minutes by multiplying by 60.
