Monica watches two movie trilogies. The first movie was 9 hours and 17 minutes long. The second movie trilogy was 6 hours and 48 minutes long. How much longer was the first movie trilogy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  2 hours 29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in time is ...

  (9 hours 17 minutes) - (6 hours 48 minutes)

  = (9 - 6) hours (17 -48) minutes

  = 3 hours -31 minutes

  = 2 hours 29 minutes

_____

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so subtracting 31 minutes from an hour leaves 29 minutes.
