Question

Mrs Davis worked 42 hr 35 min last week how many hours and minutes did she average in each of the five days

Answer 1

Answer:

8 hours and 31 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To get an average, you take the total time and divide it by the total days. Here, it would be 42 hours and 35 minutes divided by 5 days. You can convert the hours to minutes, and get 42x60=2520 plus the 35 minutes to get 2555 minutes. Divise that by 5 and you get 511 minutes per day. Since they're asking for hours and minutes, divide 511 by 60 to get 511÷60=8 with remainder 31.

Answer 2

Answer:

8 hours and 31 minutes per day

Step-by-step explanation:

$\implies 42 \text{hours} \times 60\text{minutes}=2,250 \text{minutes}$

$\implies2,520 +35 = 2,555$

$\implies 2,555 /5 = 511$

$\implies 511/60 = 8 \frac{31}{60} = 8\text{hours}, 31 \text{minutes per day}$
