Theresa Weber · Answer 1

It'd take 19.2 hours to complete the entire season.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how long four hours is by multiplying 60 (number of minutes in an hour) by 4 (number of hours). Your answer would be 240 minutes.

Next, divide 240 by 5, since Ben and his friends watched five episodes. Your answer would be 48, meaning that each episode of the season would be 48 minutes long.

Then, multiply 48 by 24, since you want to find how many minutes are in the entire season. Your answer would be 1152, meaning that the entire season would be 1,152 minutes long.

After this, divide 1152 by 60, since you want to know the amount in hours, not in minutes. You can use a calculator, or do it on your own. Either way, your answer would be 19.2, meaning that the entire season is 19.2 hours long.
