Question

I need the answer to these math questions.

1) Multiply 8 minutes 31 seconds by 17.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 h 16 min 23 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

the time is expressed in the sexadecimal system, which uses the number 60 as an arithmetic base,hence

1 min=60 sec

1 hora =60  min

Now, we have

$(8 min + 31 sec)*17=136 min +527 sec\\\\\\we\ need\ to\ convert\ this\ in\ our\ base\ 60\, using\ a\ rule\ o\ three\\\\ 60 min=1\ hour\\136 min=x ?\\\\x=\frac{ 136 h}{60}\\ x=2.26 hours$

we take the whole part as an hour, and the decimal part is multiplied by 60 to get minutes

Step 1

$8min*17=136 min =2.26 h\\\\2.26h = 2\ h + 0.26h(\frac{60 min}{1 h}) \\2.26h =2h+15.6 min$

we repeat the procedure to leave the minutes as a whole part

$2.26\ h =2\ h+15\ min + 0.6\ min*(\frac{60 \sec}{1 m} )\\2.26\ h =2\ h\ 15\ min\ 36\ sec$

Step 2

$\\527\s*(\frac{1 min}{ 60\ sec})=8.78\ min\\ \\8.78\ min= 8\min\0.78\ min\\8.78\ min=8\ min\ 0.78\min(\frac{60\ seg}{min})\\8.78\min=8\ min \ 47\ sec\\\\now, add\\\\8 min *17 =2\ h\ 15\ min\ 36\ sec\\31 sec *17 =8\ min \ 47\ sec\\(8\ min\ 31\ sec)*17=2\ h\ 15\ min\ 83\ sec\\83 s(\frac{1 min}{60 sec})=1.38 min\\1.38\ min\ =1\ min\ 0.38\ min*(\frac{60 sec}{1\ min})\\1.38\ min=1\min\ 23 s.\\( 8min 31 sec)*17=2 h 16 min 23 sec$

Have a great day
