Question

Our meeting started at 9:45 a.m. and ended at 12:45 p.m. how long did the meeting take in minutes​

Answer 1

Answer
180 minutes
Explanation
It took 3 hours, there are 60 minutes in an hour. Multiply 60 by 3 and you get 180 minutes

Answer 2

180 minutes

Explanation:

The problem above needs "conversion of units" from hour to minutes. Remember that: 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, if the meeting started at 9:45 a.m. and ended at 12:45 p.m., then the meeting's duration is 3 hours.

The next step is to convert 3 hours to minutes since the problem is asking for the answer in minutes.

So, 3 hours x
`(60 minutes)/(1 hour)` = 180 minutes (this is the answer)
