Question

1. Joe calculated that he has been at school for a total of 12, 250 hours during his school career. Calculate how many years that is.
O 1.4 years
O 3.4 years
O 2.8 years
O 0.6 years

Answer 1

• 1 day is equivalent to 24 hours

So we will divide 12, 250 hours by 24 to find how many days he had been at school

$\frac{12250}{24} = 510.4$

This proves that, Joe has been at school for 510 days and hours.

• On the second step, 365 days is equivalent to 1 year. This will help us to find how many years he has been at school

$\frac{510.4}{365} = 1.4$

So the correct answer is 1.4 years
