Answer 1

4.24

Explanation:

Answer 2

4.4 hours

or

4 hours 24 minutes

Explanation:

Remember that

1 hour=60 minutes

step 1

Convert the amount of time each week for a month in minutes

so

a) 1 hour 3 minutes

`60+3=63\ min`

b) 1 hour 18 minutes

`60+18=78\ min`

c) 55 minutes

d) 68 minutes

step 2

Adds the minutes

`63+78+55+68=264\ min`

step 3

Convert to hours

Divide by 60

`(264)/(60)= 4.4\ hours`

step 4

Convert to hours and minutes

`4.4\ h=4\ h+0.4(60)\ min=4\ h+24\ min`
