Question

The Super Bowl half time show lasts 30 minutes. If the half time show is 1/7 of the total game time, how many hours is the Super Bowl from start to finish? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

3 1/2 hours.

Explanation:

If the Half Time show is one-seventh of the show and lasts for 30 minutes, we can multiply that by 7 to get the total amount of minutes.

30 x 7 = 210

To convert the number of minutes to hours, 210 can be divided by 60 to result in a total of 3.5, therefore, the Super Bowl lasts for 3 1/2 hours.
