Question

cecelia spent 17.6 hours taking inventory. how many minutes did she spend taking inventory? a) 176 minutes b) 528 minutes c) 1,056 minutes d) 1,760 minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes.

Step2: Multiply hours by 60

To convert 17.6 hours to minutes, we use the formula: minutes = hours × 60. So we calculate \( 17.6 \times 60 \).
First, calculate \( 17 \times 60 = 1020 \) and \( 0.6 \times 60 = 36 \). Then add them together: \( 1020 + 36 = 1056 \).

Answer:

C) 1,056 minutes
