B. How many minutes did Alden spend on his science project?
Answer:
Alden spent 240 minutes on his science project.
Explanation:
Alden spent 4 hours on his science project.
1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. To convert hours into minutes we need to perform multiplication operation.
Multiply 4 with 60 the product is equal to 240 minutes.
4 x 60 = 240 minutes
So, Alden spent 240 minutes on his science project.

C. Compare Alden and Natasha’s times.
4 hours HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 21 Lesson 1 Answer Key Compare Units of Time 7 250 minutes
Answer:
4 hours HMH-Into-Math-Grade-4-Module-21-Lesson-1-Answer-Key-Compare-Units-of-Time-7 250 minutes
4 hours is equal to 240 minutes. So, 240 minutes is less than 250 minutes.

D. Who spent more time on the science project?
Answer:
Natasha spent more time on the science project.

_________ spent a greater amount of time doing jumping jacks.
Answer:
HMH-Into-Math-Grade-4-Module-21-Lesson-1-Answer-Key-Compare-Units-of-Time-8
Lian spent a greater amount of time doing jumping jacks.
Explanation:
Lian spent 3 minutes doing jumping jacks. Ruiz spent 175 seconds doing jumping jacks. We know that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds. To convert 3 minutes into seconds we need to perform multiplication operation. Multiply 60  with 3 the product is equal to 180 seconds. Lian spent 180 seconds doing jumping jacks. So, Lian spent a greater amount of time doing jumping jacks.

Question 2.
Write the time shown on the clock.
HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 21 Lesson 1 Answer Key Compare Units of Time 10
Answer:
The time is 4:30.
Explanation:
The hours hand is in between 4 and 5. The minute hand is at 6 which implies 30 minutes(6 x 5). So, the time shown on the above clock is 4:30.

Question 3.
Which represents a greater amount of time? Circle your answer.
2 hours
100 minutes
Answer:
HMH-Into-Math-Grade-4-Module-21-Lesson-1-Answer-Key-Compare-Units-of-Time-10(1)
Explanation:
We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. The given times are 2 hours and 100 minutes. Two hours is equal to 120 minutes(60 x 2). The greater amount of time is represented by 2 hours compared to 100 minutes. So, draw a circle for 2 hours.

Question 4.
Use Structure Dora says that there are 7,200 seconds in 2 hours. Hector says that there are 6,000 seconds in 2 hours. Is either statement correct? Use tables to support your explanation.
Answer:
HMH-Into-Math-Grade-4-Module-21-Lesson-1-Answer-Key-Compare-Units-of-Time-10(2)
Explanation:
We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes and 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.
To convert 2 hours in seconds we need to perform multiplication operation.
Multiply 120 with 60 the product is equal to 7,200.
120 x 60 = 7,200 seconds
There are 7,200 seconds in 2 hours. So, Dora statement is correct.

Question 5.
Reason Last week, Ricardo spent 160 minutes practicing the piano. Taci spent 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours practicing the piano. Who spent more time practicing, Ricardo or Taci? Explain.
HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 21 Lesson 1 Answer Key Compare Units of Time 11
Answer:
Ricardo spent 160 minutes for practicing the piano.
Taci spent 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours for practicing the piano.
Convert the mixed fraction hours to fraction hours.
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours
Multiply the denominator value 2 with the numerator value 2 then add the product to the 1.
= [(2 x 2) + 1]/2 hours
= 5/2 hours
= 2.5 hours
We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. Convert 2.5 hours into minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes
2.5 hours = ? minutes
Multiply 2.5 with 60 the product is equal to 150 minutes.
So, 2.5 hours is equal to 150 minutes.
Taci spent 150 minutes for practicing the piano.
Ricardo spent more time for practicing the piano.

Complete.

Question 6.
3 hours = ________ minutes
Answer:
We know that 1 minutes is equal to 60 seconds and 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes
3 hours = ? minutes
Multiply 3 with 60 the product is equal to 180 minutes.
So, three hours is equal to 180 minutes.

Question 7.
5 minutes = _________ seconds
Answer:
We know that 1 minutes is equal to 60 seconds.
1 minute = 60 seconds
5 minutes = ? seconds
Multiply 5 with 60 the product is equal to 300 seconds.
So, five minutes is equal to 300 seconds.
