As a student, I have

Final answer:

To convert 240 hours of English, where 1 hour is equal to 50 minutes, to the equivalent time where 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, you would have 200 hours of English.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 240 hours of English, where 1 hour is equal to 50 minutes, to the equivalent time in which 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can use the concept of unit conversion.

First, we can calculate the number of minutes in 240 hours by multiplying 240 by 50: 240 x 50 = 12,000 minutes.

Now, we can convert this number of minutes to hours by dividing it by 60: 12,000 / 60 = 200 hours.

Therefore, if 1 hour equals 60 minutes, you would have 200 hours of English.

Answer:

You'd have 288 hours for 60 mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1hr=50 mins for 240 hours

then 50mins =240hours

thus, 60 mins =x hours

Cross multiply

then you have 50mins × x hours=60 mins ×240 hours

therefore,50mins×x/50 mins=240 hours×60/50mins

then,x on the L.H.S =24×12 after division on R.H.S

so, x=288 hours

therefore,for 60 mins you'd have 288 hours of English
