Question

A vendor works for 8 hours in the shop every day. How many minutes does he work in three days?

• A. 1340
• B. 1440
• C. 1450
• D. 1400

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1440

Number of hours the vendor works in a day = 8 hours
Therefore, in 3 days, the number of hours he had worked would be 3×8 = 24 hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, the total number of minutes he works in 3 days = 24×60.
Solving this by vertical method, we have,

Therefore, the vendor works for 1440 minutes in 3 days.
