Question

At Hudson High School, the first class starts at 8:26 AM and the fourth class ends at 11:26 AM. There are 4 minutes between classes and each class is the same length. How many minutes are there in one class period?

Answer 1

The length of one class period at Hudson High School is 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of one class period, we can subtract the start time of the first class from the end time of the fourth class and then subtract the total time spent in between classes.

The start time of the first class is 8:26 AM and the end time of the fourth class is 11:26 AM. From 8:26 AM to 11:26 AM, a total of 3 hours have passed.

There are 4 classes and 3 breaks in between, which means there are 4-1 = 3 breaks between the classes. Each break is 4 minutes long, so the total break time is 3 breaks x 4 minutes/break = 12 minutes.

To find the length of one class period, we subtract the total break time from the total time passed: 3 hours - 12 minutes = 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Therefore, one class period at Hudson High School is 2 hours and 48 minutes long.

Answer 2

Answer=56 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure i have the same problem but since the first class starts at 8:26 am and the fourth class ends at 11:26 am if there are no breaks in between it would be 60 minutes like this:8:26-9:26-10:26-11:26 but it has 4 minutes between so 60-4=56 minutes
