A student skipped a step when she tried to convert 26 hours into seconds,
and she got the following incorrect result:

25 hours (60 seconds)
(1 minute)=
- 1560 seconds

What conversion ratio did she skip in this multiple step conversion?

A.
1 hour
60 minutes

B.
60 seconds
1 minute

C.
1 minute
60 seconds

D.
60 minutes
1 hour

Answer 1

A. 1 hour, 60 minutes.

she converted 60 seconds = 1 minute then directly multiplied that by 26. she didn’t multiply the number of minutes in an hour.

correct answer would be:
60 sec = 1 min
60 min = 1 hour
60 sec x 60 min = 3600 sec per hour
3600 sec per hour x 26 (number of hours)
= 93,600 seconds in 26 hours
