Simon spent 2 h 20 min on his Social studies Project. He spent another 55 min on his Mathematics project.
- How much time did he spend on both projects?
- How much longer did he spend on his Science project than his Mathematics project?
(a)
Time that Simon took to do Social studies project = 2 h 20 min
Time that Simon took to do Mathematics project = 55 min
Total time that Simon spent on both projects
= 2 h 20 min + 55 min
= 3 h 15 min
(b)
Time that Simon spent on Science project longer than Mathematics project
= 2 h 20 min - 55 min
= 1 h 25 min
Answer(s): (a) 3 h 15 min; (b) 1 h 25 min
