@LukeBlueFive can you help me with this?

2. LukeBlueFive

Sure. There are 60 minutes in an hour: $1 hour = 60 minutes$ So this means: $11,040 minutes \times \frac{1hour}{60 minutes}$ Will give you the equivalent number of hours. Furthermore, there are 24 hours in a day: $1 day = 24 hours$ So this means you need to multiply the previous result by: $\frac{1 day}{24 hours}$ To get the equivalent number of days.

66240 and 264090, thats what i am getting :( so sorry

4. LukeBlueFive

You seem to be multiplying instead of dividing... guess I should've made my equations clearer. Let me rewrite them: $\frac{11,040 minutes}{60 minutes}$ Will give you the number of hours. Then, divide the following from that result: $24 hours$ To get the number of days.

5. LukeBlueFive

You divide since there are more minutes in a day than hours, and more hours than days in a year... if that makes any sense.

7.666667 i got final answer this

7. Faman39

184 dividing 11040/60 184 / 24 got that 7.6666667

8. LukeBlueFive

Okay, he worked for over 7 days, but how much over? To find out, multiply the .6666667 part by 24 to get the number of hours that is equal to 2/3 of a day.

9. LukeBlueFive

Then you'll have the answer: 7 days and ? hours

10. Faman39

But i m getting 184 when i multiply

11. Faman39

Sorry got 16, you meant just multiply .666667 with 24
