Question

Andrew works in a law office. One day, he spent 2 hours 13 minutes answering phone calls, 1 hour 47 minutes returning emails, and 3 hours 26 minutes preparing presentations. How long did Andrew work?

Answer 1

7 hours and 26 mins

Explanation:

let's add up the minutes first so 13+47+26=86

There's 60 min per hour so this 86 will be 1 hour 26 min

now we can add the hours together 2+1+3=6 hours

don't forget about the 1 hour we added from the minutes

so into it will be 7 hours and 26 mins
