Question: 1 / 400

When a runner completes a race in 4 hours 30 minutes, how many total minutes did they run?

250 minutes

270 minutes

To determine the total time the runner took in minutes, first, we need to convert the hours into minutes and then add the additional minutes.

The runner completed the race in 4 hours and 30 minutes. We can break this down step-by-step:

1. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, to convert 4 hours into minutes, we multiply:

\[

4 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 240 \text{ minutes}

\]

2. Next, we add the additional 30 minutes to this total:

\[

240 \text{ minutes} + 30 \text{ minutes} = 270 \text{ minutes}

\]

Thus, the total time the runner spent running is 270 minutes.

This calculation aligns perfectly with the answer given. The other choices reflect calculations that do not sum the time correctly based on the initial breakdown of hours and minutes.
