24 min + 15 min + 1 min = 40 min
Therefore, total time taken by Gopal is 40 min and 10 sec.
Example 2: Find the total of 4 hours 40 minutes and 3 hours 50 minutes.
Answer:
Hour Min
1
4 40
+ 3 50
8 30
Step 1: Add the minutes.
40 min + 50 min = 90 min; 90 min = 1 hour 30 min [1 hour = 60 min]
Write 30 min in the min column and carry 1 hour.
Step 2: Add hours and the carried over hour.
4 hours + 3 hours + 1 hour = 8 hours.
Therefore, the required answer is 8 hours 30 minutes.
