Lennon rode her bike for 1 hour 20 minutes on Saturday. She rode for 1 hours 55 minutes on Sunday. Julian said that Lennon rode for 195 minutes in all. Is Julian correct? Explain.
Yes, Julian is correct. When you add up Lennon's riding time, it equals 3 hours 15 minutes.
1 h + 1 h = 2h, 20 min + 55 min = 75 min which converts to 1 h 15 min. Add them altogether and you get 3 hours 15 minutes.
Then, you convert 3 hours 15 minutes to just minutes.
3 hours = 180 minutes
180 + 15 min = 195 minutes.
The total amount of time Lennon spent riding is 195 minutes, so Julian is correct.
