 Solve word problems involving time measurement.
 Convert units of measure of length, mass, and volume from smaller to larger and vice versa.
 Solve word problems involving units of measure of length, mass and volume.
Module Content
Time measurement is very important for us to learn because we are using it almost the whole day everyday. The
words minutes, hours, days and years are all measures of time. How long is each of these? Study the table and the
examples that follow.
1 min (minute) 60 s (seconds)
=
1 h (hour) = 60 min
1 day = 24 h
1 week = 7 days
1 month = 30 days (April, June, September, November)
31 days (January, March, May, July, August, October, December)
28 days (February on Regular year)
29 days (February on leap year)
1 year = 365 days (366 on a leap year)
1 decade = 10 y
1 century = 100 y
In converting from one unit to another, the rule is:
from bigger to smaller unit → multiply
from smaller to bigger unit → divide
Example 1: How many minutes are in 3 hours?
Solution: Since 1 h = 60 min, then multiply 60 x 3 = 180. So, 3 h is equal to 180 min.
Example 2: How many hours are in one-half day?
Solution: There are 24 h in 1 day. For ½ day, multiply ½ x 24 or divide 24by 2 to get 12 h.

Example 3: How many seconds are in 4 minutes?

2 2
Solution: There are 60 s in a minute, so in 4 min: (4 x 60) +
3 (
3 )
x 60 = 240 + 40 = 280 min.
Example 4: Roger started doing his project at 5:40 p.m. and finished it at 7:45 p.m. How long did he do his project?
Solution: To find the time spent for the project, use the formula below:
Amount of Time Spent = Time Finished – Time Started
hour minute
Time Finished 7 45
Time Started −¿ 5 40
Time Spent 2 5
The amount of time spent doing the project is 2 h 5 min.
Example 5: Genebibe went driving. She left at 10:30 a.m. and arrived at 3:15 p.m. How long did she drive?
Solution: Subtract 10:30 from 3:15.
hour minute
Time Arrived 3 15
Time Left −¿ 10 30
Time Travelled
Observe that the number of minutes in the minuend is smaller than that of the subtrahend. In this case, rename the 3
hours as 2 hours and 60 minutes and regroup the 60 minutes with 15 minutes to make 75 minutes. Then proceed to
subtraction.
hour minute
Time Arrived 2 75
Time Left −¿ 10 30
Time Travelled 45
Since the number of hours in the minuend is smaller than that in the subtrahend, we can always add 12 hours due to
the fact that time is modulo 12. It means that the number of hours in the minuend will become 14. We can now
subtract.
hour minute
Time Arrived 14 75
Time Left −¿ 10 30
Time Travelled 4 45
It means that Genebibe drove for 4 h 45 minutes.

The length of Cagayan River is 505 km. Kilometer (km) is a unit of length or distance; hence, it may also be
expressed in other units such as meter (m), decimetre (dm), and so on. For mass, the units used in the metric system
are kilogram (kg), gram (g), centigram (cg), and so on. On the other hand, the units used for volume are liter (L),
millilitre (mL), and so on.
Study the table and the examples that follow.
Length Mass Volume
1 m = 100 cm 1 kg = 1000 g 1 L = 1000 mL
1 km = 1000 cm
To review, when converting from one unit to another, the rules are:
from bigger to smaller unit – multiply
from smaller to bigger unit – divide
Example 6: How many meters are in 4 kilometers?
Solution: 1 km = 1000 m; So, 4 km = 4 x 1000 = 4000 m
Example 7: How many centimeters are in ½ meter?
Solution: Since 1 m = 100 cm, then ½ m = ½ x 100 = 50 cm
Example 8: How many grams are in 3 ¼ kg?
Solution: 1 kg = 1000; 3 ¼ kg = 3 x 1000 = 3250 g
Example 9: How many liters are in 2500 milliliters?
Solution: 1 L = 1000 mL; 2500 ÷ 1000 = 2 ½ L
Example 10: Virgie filled three containers with different amounts of water using different units. In container A, she
placed 1250 mL; in container B, she poured 1 ½ L, while in container C, she poured 1 L 400 mL. Arrange the
containers from the most to the least amount of water they contain.
Solution: To compare the three amounts of water , convert them into similar units.
Container A: 1250 mL
Container B: 1 ½ L or 1500 mL
Container C: 1 L 400 mL or 1400 mL
Therefore, the order of the containers from the most to the least amount of water content is: Container B, Container
C and Container A.
