In this activity, we will be answering problems about time.
It will be helpful to know that there are:
60 minutes in 1 hour
7 days in a week
Example 1
How long is it from 6.30 pm to 6.55 pm?
Answer
Because the two times are within the same hour, we can simply do a subtraction:
55 - 30 = 25 minutes.
Example 2
It takes 2 weeks for watercress seeds to germinate.
How many days is this?
Answer 2
There are 7 days in 1 week.
2 x 7 = 14 days.
