How many hours and minutes in eight days? - Answers

The question you ask is a little ambiguous, as I will explain. There are 24 hours in a single day. In 8 days, there are 8 lots of 24 hours. We can represent this using a multiplication : Hours in 8 days = 8 x 24 We can carry out this multiplication most easily by splitting 24 into two parts : 24 = 20 + 4 So we then get : Hours in 8 days = 8 x 20 added to 8 x 4 So we get 160 added to 32 which comes to 192 hours. So there are 192 hours in 8 days. The reason why I said your question was ambiguous is that there were no left over minutes - there are exactly 192 hours in 8 days. If you also wanted to know how many minutes there are in 8 days, then we should use another multiplication : Minutes in 8 days = minutes in 192 hours = 192 x 60 (60 minutes each hour) This is a more complex multiplication : There are 11,520 minutes in 8 days.
