Homework Level 5-6 Lesson 6 - Time Clocks and Calendar

Pdf Summary

This homework for a Math Kangaroo class at Level 5-6 focuses on problems related to clocks and calendars. <br /><br />1. Calculate the duration of a week on Saturn compared to Earth. A single day on Saturn is 13 hours and 30 minutes shorter than on Earth. Therefore, a week (7 days) on Saturn is 94 hours and 30 minutes shorter than a week on Earth.<br /><br />2. Determine the duration of a movie that starts at 2:23 p.m. and ends at 4:07 p.m. The movie runs for 1 hour and 44 minutes.<br /><br />3. Mr. Kowalski claims he has lived 33 years, 33 months, 33 weeks, 33 days, and 33 hours. To find his age in years, consider the sum of these periods, which indicates he is 36 years old.<br /><br />4. A homing pigeon released at 10:30 a.m. arrives at its destination by 1:15 p.m. If the pigeon flies 7 miles every 15 minutes, calculate the distance traveled. The pigeon flies 77 miles in the given time frame.<br /><br />5. Analyze the angle between the minute and hour hands on a clock at 2:30. At 3 o'clock, the hands make a right angle (90 degrees). At 2:30, the angle measures 105 degrees.<br /><br />These problems are designed to enhance your ability to calculate time intervals, convert various units of time into years, understand the mechanics of a clock, and apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations.
