Express and operate with time in hours, minutes and seconds
Let's calculate:
- $(5h \ 3 ' \ 34 '' )-(1h \ 35 ' \ 21 '' )$
- $(6h \ 7 ' \ 55 '' )\cdot 5$
Since the minutes to subtract $(35)$ are bigger than those that we have $(3)$ we must subtract one hour from the original time and add $60$ minutes to the minutes of this first time. This leads us to the operation to be calculated as:
$$(4h \ 63 ' \ 34 '' )-(1h \ 35 ' \ 21 '' )$$
Once we have the expressed the operation like this, we proceed to subtract each of the factors separately and we have:
$$3h \ 28 ' \ 13 ''$$
We multiply every factor by $5$ and we get: $30h \ 35' \ 275''$
Since we have more than $60$ seconds, we convert them into minutes. We divide $275$ by $60$. We take the integer part.
$$\dfrac{275}{60}=4,5833$$
We multiply the integer part $4$ by $60$ and we subtract it from $275$ original. We get:
$$4 \cdot 60 = 240 \Rightarrow 275-240=35$$
Therefore, we must add $4$ more minutes to the result and leave only $35$ seconds. This is: $30h \ 39' \ 35'' $
- $3h \ 28' \ 13'' $
- $30h \ 39' \ 35'' $
