Answer:
7:47
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are two ways of solving this:
The video will be half the time of 15:34, so you need to divide the time 15:34 by 2.
Method 1)
Use the tip. The video is 15 minutes and 34 seconds long.
Convert minutes to seconds: 15 * 60 = 900
Add 34 seconds to the 15 minutes: 900 seconds + 34 seconds = 934 seconds
The video is 934 seconds long.
Divide the total seconds by 2: 934/2 = 467
467 seconds = 420 seconds + 47 seconds = 7 minutes and 47 seconds
Answer: 7:47
Method 2)
Divide the minutes by 2 and divide the seconds by 2.
15 minutes and 34 seconds.
Divide minutes by 2: 15/2 = 7.5
Divide seconds by 2: 34/2 = 17
Now we need to add 7.5 minutes and 34 seconds.
0.5 minutes is half a minute, so it's 30 seconds.
7.5 minutes + 17 seconds =
= 7 minutes + 0.5 minute + 17 seconds
= 7 minutes + 30 seconds + 17 seconds
= 7 minutes + 47 seconds
= 7:47
Answer: 7:47
