19. It took Sarah’s family 3 days to drive from Meriden, CT. to Miami, Florida. How many hours did it take her family to complete the trip? Click here next slide

20. We know that there are 24 hours in one day. We know it took Sarah’s family 3 days. To figure out how many hours the trip took, we have to multiply 24 by 3. Once you complete the calculation, you find out that Sarah’s family took 72 hours to make the trip. Click anywhere for next step Click for second example

21. Peter flew from Tampa, Florida, to New York City. His plane left Tampa at 6:34 A.M. and the flight took 3 hours 55 minutes. How many seconds was the flight? Click to solve

22. We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. 3 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 180 minutes. 180 minutes x 60 seconds = 10,800 seconds. We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute. Peter’s flight was 10,800 seconds. Click anywhere for next step Click for Main Menus
