Connor and Robert are making posters for Keep America Beautiful Month. Connor worked on his poster from 9:17 a.m. until 10:02 a.m. Robert worked on his poster for 1 hour and 10 minutes. How much longer did Robert work than Connor?.
geez - this at least the 3rd time around on this one
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Connor worked
(60-17) + 2 = ____ minutes
Now subtract that from Robert's time
10:02 = 9 am + 62 minutes, call it 9:62 maybe :)
9:62 - 9:17 = 45 minutes for Connor
Robert = 60 min + 10 min = 70 min
Robert - Connor = 70 - 45 = 25 minutes
To find out how much longer Robert worked than Connor, we need to calculate the total amount of time each of them worked and then compare the values.
Connor worked from 9:17 a.m. to 10:02 a.m., which is a duration of 45 minutes (10:02 - 9:17).
Robert worked for 1 hour and 10 minutes, which is a total of 70 minutes.
To find out how much longer Robert worked, we can subtract the duration of time Connor worked from the duration of time Robert worked:
70 minutes - 45 minutes = 25 minutes.
Therefore, Robert worked 25 minutes longer than Connor on their posters for Keep America Beautiful Month.
