Thread: i need help on how to convert these problems...

divide
12 hr 30 min by 5


8ft 9 in by 3


4qt 1 pt by 3

7yd 24 in by 4


35 min 12 sec by 6


6hr 30 min 20 sec by 5

First you change everything into the same unit.
60 mins = 1 hr
12*60= 720 mins
720 + 30 = 750 mins total
750 / 5 = 150 mins
If you need to change that back into hours and minutes...
150 / 60 = 2.5 hrs
= 2 hrs 30 mins

Or you could simply do this:
12 hrs 30 mins = 12.5 hrs
12.5 / 5 = 2.5
2.5 hrs = 2 hrs 30 mins

Follow the same strategy on the other problems. If you need any more help or another example, just ask.
