    Measuring Time

    We must be able to solve problems involving
    conversion of units of time.
    • The second is the basic unit for time measurement.
    • A year is the time it takes for the earth to travel
    once around the sun.
    The following conversions are useful when
    working with time:
    1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (sec) 1 year (yr) = 12 months
    = 52 weeks
    1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes = 365 days or 366 days
    = 3,600 seconds (for leap years)

    1 day = 24 hours 1 decade = 10 years


    = 86,400 seconds
    1 score = 20 years
    1 week (wk) = 7 days
    1 century = 100 years
    1 month = 30 days
    = 4 weeks 1 millennium = 1,000 years
    Convert the measurement to the indicated unit.
    1) 85 min = ______ sec
    𝟔𝟎 𝒔𝒆𝒄
    85 min x 𝟏 𝒎𝒊𝒏 = 5,100 sec

    2) 2 hr 45 min = _____ min


    𝟔𝟎 𝒎𝒊𝒏
    2hr x = 120 min
    𝟏 𝒉𝒓
    120 + 45 = 165 min

    3) 39 days = _____ weeks


    𝟏 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌
    39 days x 𝟕 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 = 5.57 weeks or 5 weeks and 4 days
    The incubation time of some animals are given below. Convert the
    indicated incubation time to hours.

    a. Chicken (21 days)


    b. Pigeon (18 days)

    𝟐𝟒 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓
    a) Chicken: 21 days x 𝟏 𝒅𝒂𝒚
    = 504 hours.
    𝟐𝟒 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓
    b) Pigeon: 18 days x
    𝟏 𝒅𝒂𝒚
    = 432 hours
    Have you ever wondered why we have leap years?

    𝟏
    A year is actually 365 days. In practice, however, for every four
    𝟒
    years, the three years will have 365 days. The fourth year is called
    a “leap year” and it has 366 days to make up for the extra quarter
    day over four years. In a leap year, the month of February has 29
    days instead of 28.
