Question

In the first quarter of the basketball game, Austin played for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Wyatt played for 150 seconds. Who had more playing time?​

Answer 1

They played the same time.

Explanation:

Important Information:

Austin played 2 minutes 30 second.

Wyatt played 150 second.

Note:

60 Second = 1 Minutes

Explanation/Solution:

If 60 second = 1 minutes then 150-60= 90

Minus 60 again = 30

Therefore, 2 Minutes and 30 Second..

Austin = 2 minutes and 30 second = Wyatt = 2 Minutes and 40 second.

Hence, They Both have the same amount of time.

Answer 2

They both played the same amount of time.

Explanation:

Convert minutes to seconds so 1 minute equals 60 seconds

2 minutes equals 120 seconds then add 30 since Austin played for 30 seconds in addition to the 2 minutes. That gives you 150 seconds which is how long Wyatt played.
