Math Problem Statement

add all the mnutes and hours in this list and give me the total

 1 hour 30 minutes  40 minutes  1 hour 35 minutes
 40 minutes  3 hours
 2 hours
 35 minutes
 30 minutes  2 hours  3 hours 10 minutes  1 hour 45 minutes  1 hour 40 minutes
 30 minutes  1 hour
 2 hours 30 minutes  40 minutes  2 hours 30 minutes  2 hours 10 minutes  30 minutes  40 minutes  3 hours  20 minutes  30 minutes  1 hour 20 minutes  50 minutes  2 hours  3 hours  20 minutes  40 minutes  45 minutes • 1 hour • 2 hours

Solution

List of time entries in hours and minutes

time_entries = [ (1, 30), (0, 40), (1, 35), (0, 40), (3, 0), (2, 0), (0, 35), (0, 30), (2, 0), (3, 10), (1, 45), (1, 40), (0, 30), (1, 0), (2, 30), (0, 40), (2, 30), (2, 10), (0, 30), (0, 40), (3, 0), (0, 20), (0, 30), (1, 20), (0, 50), (2, 0), (3, 0), (0, 20), (0, 40), (0, 45), (1, 0), (2, 0) ]

Convert all times to minutes and sum them

total_minutes = sum(hours * 60 + minutes for hours, minutes in time_entries)

Convert total minutes back to hours and minutes

total_hours = total_minutes // 60 remaining_minutes = total_minutes % 60

total_hours, remaining_minutes(45, 20)(45, 20)successThe total time is 45 hours and 20 minutes.

Do you want to see the detailed calculations for this? Here are some follow-up questions to consider:

  1. How do we convert hours and minutes into total minutes?
  2. Why is it important to keep track of both hours and minutes separately when adding times?
  3. Can we create a formula or method to automate time addition for any list?
  4. How would this change if seconds were involved as well?
  5. Could you use this for scheduling tasks in a calendar system?

Tip: Always double-check your time units (hours, minutes) before adding to avoid errors!
