Question

Toni’s school day is 8 hours. She has 8 classes that

are 3/4 hour long. How many hours is Toni not in
class while she is at school?

A. 1 1/2
B. 2
C. 3/4
D. 9

Answer 1

The answer is B. 2 hours

Answer 2

The answer is B. 3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes, and 1 hour is 60 minutes, so we take the remaining 15 minutes, multiply it by 8 and that gives us 120. We know 60 times 2 is 120, so that gives us 2 hours.
