👉 Hour math is a method of solving word problems that involves converting the time given into hours, minutes, and seconds, then breaking down the problem into simpler parts that can be solved individually. It starts by identifying the total time in hours, minutes, and seconds from the problem statement. The problem is then divided into segments that can be directly calculated based on these units, with any remaining minutes or seconds converted to hours for easier computation. For instance, if a problem states that an event lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes, it's first converted to 15 hours (2 hours x 60 minutes + 45 minutes), and then further broken down into 15 hours and 3 minutes (since 45 minutes is 0.75 hours). This approach simplifies complex time-related problems into manageable steps, making it easier to find the solution without getting bogged down by minute-by-minute calculations.
