Math Problem Statement

Write the date and time now. What will the date and time be in: 10 days, 10 hours and 10 minutes, 100 hours and 100 minutes, 1.5 days, 1.5 weeks? What was the date and time: 5.5 days ago, 55 days and 55 minutes ago?

Solution

The image shows a math problem involving dates and times, asking about how the current date and time will change after certain periods, as well as how to determine past dates. Let's break down each part of the question:

3. Write the date and time now. What will the date and time be in:

a) 10 days, 10 hours, and 10 minutes

  • You will add 10 days, 10 hours, and 10 minutes to the current date and time.

b) 100 hours and 100 minutes

  • Convert the 100 minutes into hours (since 100 minutes = 1 hour and 40 minutes), and then add 100 hours to the current time.

c) 1.5 days

  • 1.5 days means 1 day and 12 hours. Add this to the current date and time.

d) 1.5 weeks

  • 1.5 weeks is equivalent to 10.5 days (since 1 week = 7 days). Add this to the current date and time.

What was the date and time:

e) 5.5 days ago

  • Subtract 5.5 days from the current date and time (5.5 days = 5 days and 12 hours).

f) 55 days and 55 minutes ago

  • First, convert the 55 minutes into hours (55 minutes = 0 hours and 55 minutes). Then subtract 55 days and 55 minutes from the current date and time.

Would you like me to assist with an example calculation using a specific date and time, or help with understanding these concepts in more detail?
