P. 2
Example 2: What is the value of B in given problem?
49 hours 30 minutes = B hours 90 minutes
In order to get the answer we need to do the following steps:
Step 1: In both the sides of the problem, we have the values of minutes.
Step 2: The value of minutes in Left Hand Side (LHS) of the problem is smaller
than that in Right Hand Side (RHS).
30 minutes < 90 minutes
We know that, 60 minutes = 1 hour
Now we have more 1 hour in LHS,
49 hours 30 minutes
= 48 hours + 1 hour + 30 minutes
= 48 hours + 60 minutes + 30 minutes
= 48 hours + 90 minutes
= 48 hours 90 minutes.
Therefore, the required answer is 48.
Example 3: What is the value of x in given problem?
x hours 20 minutes = 4 hours 80 minutes
In order to get the answer we need to do the following steps:
Step 1: In both the sides of the problem, we have the values of minutes.
Step 2: The value of minutes in Left Hand Side (LHS) of the problem is smaller
than that in Right Hand Side (RHS).
20 minutes < 80 minutes
