                        next slide

complete the trip?
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.

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    Click to solve


was the flight?
We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.



3 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 180 minutes.



We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.


180 minutes x 60 seconds = 10,800 seconds.
