Answer
Estimate 240 moments
Exact 320 moments
Work Step by Step
8 hours $\div 1 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes
Before solving the equation you must first express each part of the equation in the same unit of time.
8 hours = 8 x 60 = 480 minutes
480 minutes $\div 1 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes
Estimate
Round each fraction to the nearest whole number and solve.
$480 \div 2 = 240$ moments
Exact
Express each number as an improper fraction.
$\frac{480}{1} \div \frac{3}{2}$
Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
$\frac{480}{1} \times \frac{2}{3}$
Reduce the fractions by the common factor of 3.
$\frac{160}{1} \div \frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{320}{1}$ = 320 moments
