Week 372 (22nd November 2024)

As the weather has been so cold this week Kim has spent the past few evenings curled up on the sofa watching a new TV series.  

The TV series has ten episodes.   

Nine episodes are each 50 minutes long.   

The final episode is 1 hour 42 minutes long.   

Work out the total length of the series.   

Give your answer in hours and minutes. 

Answer: 

The total length of the first nine episodes you do 50 x 9 to get 450 minutes 

Then transfer 1hr 42 minutes into hours at 102 minutes  

Then add 450 and 102 to get 552 minutes  

Then transfer 552 minutes into hours to get 9.2 hours which is 9 hours and 12 minutes.
