Question

The longest game in baseball history lasted eight hours and 25 minutes between the Pawtucket Red Sox in the Rochester Red Wings convert this time to seconds

Answer 1

30,300 seconds

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in each hour, and 60 seconds in each minute. The total time is found by multiplying by the appropriate conversion factor.

__

minutes in the hours

The 8 hours each have 60 minutes, so the total number of minutes in 8 hours is ...

(8 h) × (60 min/h) = 480 min

seconds in the minutes

The total number of minutes is 25 more than the number of minutes in the hours:

480 min + 25 min = 505 min

These each have 60 seconds, so the total number of seconds is ...

(505 min) × (60 s/min) = 30300 s

The game lasted 30,300 seconds.
