Question

Blake has 2 hours between when he gets home from school and when he had to eat dinner. He spends one-fourth of this time doing homework. How many minutes does he do homework in a five day school week

Answer 1

Answer: 150 minutes

Explanation:

Convert 2 hours to minutes:

2 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 120 minutes

Calculate Homework time by finding 1/4 of 120 minutes:

120 / 4 = 30 minutes

Calculate total number of minutes spent doing homework in a five day school week:

30 minutes a day spent on homework x 5 days = 150 minutes in total

Answer 2

150 minutes or 2 hours and 30 minutes

Explanation:

One-fourth of 2 hours is 30 minutes. Multiply that number by 5 and you get 150 minutes or 2 hours and 30 minutes.
