Millions of Minutes By Sasha Johnson Mr. King’s Class 2011-2012
The question • By graduation in 2020 , WILL we have gone to school for 1,000,000( one million) minutes?
Minutes per Day • We go to school 6 hours per day. • One hour is equal to 60 minutes. • So if we multiply 6 x 60= 360 • We go to school 360 minutes per day!
Minutes per Week • We go to school 5 days per week. • To get the minutes per week we need to multiply the days by the minutes per day. • 5 x 360 =1800 • We go to school 1800 minutes per week!
Minutes per year • We go to 36 weeks per year • To get the minutes per year we will need to multiply the minutes per week(1800) by the number of weeks we go to school. • 1800 x 36 = 64,800 • Wow we go to school for 64,800 minutes per year!!!!!
2020 • By our graduation in 2020 we will have gone to school for 13 years. • To figure out how many minutes we need to multiply the years(13) by the minutes per year(64,800) • 13 x 64,800 = 842,400 minutes • By our graduation we would have gone to school for 842,400 minutes
