## HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 21 Lesson 1 Answer Key Compare Units of Time

I Can represent and compare units of time given in hours, minutes, and seconds.

A train engineer uses the station clock and a wristwatch to record the times that trains depart and arrive. These clocks show the time that the A train left one morning. What time does each clock show?

The time shown on the station clock and wrist clock is 11:02.
Explanation:
A train engineer uses both the station clock and a wristwatch to record the times that trains depart and arrive. The above two clocks show the time that the A train left on morning. The hours hand is at 11. The minute hand is is in between 12 and 1. So, both the station clock and wrist clock shows the time as 11:02.

Turn and Talk What do you think the small, red hand on the engineer’s wristwatch represents?
The red hand on the engineer’s wristwatch represents seconds hand.

Question 1.
Marlis and Jacoby compete in a half marathon. They started the race at noon. The clock shows the time they finished the race in the afternoon.

A. Write the time that Marlis and Jacoby finished the race.
Marlis and Jacoby finished the race at 2:27 P.M.

B. Marlis crossed the finish line ahead of Jacoby. How is this possible?

C. The runners’ exact finishing times are shown on the clock faces. Write the exact times that Marlis and Jacoby finished the race.

Marlis: ___________
Jacoby:___________
The runners’ exact finishing times are shown on the above two clock faces. The exact time that Marlis finished the race in 02: 26: 39. The exact time that Jacoby finished the race in 02: 27: 07.

Turn and Talk How does the length of a second compare with the length of an hour?
One second is equal to 1/3,600 of one hour.

Step It Out

Question 2.
Alden spent 4 hours on his science project. Natasha spent 250 minutes on her science project. Who spent more time on the science project, Alden or Natasha?

A. Complete the table.

B. How many minutes did Alden spend on his science project?
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 250 minutes
4 hours 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?
Natasha spent more time on the science project.

Question 1.
Lian spent 3 minutes doing jumping jacks. Ruiz spent 175 seconds doing jumping jacks. Who spent a greater amount of time doing jumping jacks? Use the table to solve.

_________ spent a greater amount of time doing jumping jacks.

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.

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.
2 hours
100 minutes

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.

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.

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
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
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.

Write whether you would use hours, minutes, or seconds to measure how long it takes to complete the activity.

Question 8.
walk to school _________
walk to school : Minutes
Explanation:
Usually the school will be in a walkable distance. The distance is not too short to measure in seconds and its not too long to measure in hours. So, the appropriate word would be minutes.

Question 9.
