Question

Konni and her son, Declan, went for a run. Declan ran for a total of 27 minutes and 45 seconds. Konni ran for twice as long as Declan. How much time did Konni spend running?

Answer 1

Just double it. 27 * 2 = 54 minutes, 45 * 2 = 90 seconds, or 1 minute and 30 seconds, so 55 minutes and 30 seconds

Answer 2

Konni spent 55 minutes and 30 seconds running.

Explanation:

27 x 2 = 54

30 x 45 = 90

90/60 = 1.5

1.5 minutes is one minute and 30 seconds.

55 minutes and 30 seconds
