Certainly! Let's convert the given hours into minutes step-by-step.
### Conversion Factor:
1 hour = 60 minutes
### Step-by-Step Conversion:
#### a) 2 hours:
- To convert 2 hours into minutes, we use the conversion factor.
- [tex]\(2 \times 60 = 120\)[/tex] minutes.
So, 2 hours is equivalent to 120 minutes.
#### b) 7 hours:
- To convert 7 hours into minutes, we use the same conversion factor.
- [tex]\(7 \times 60 = 420\)[/tex] minutes.
So, 7 hours is equivalent to 420 minutes.
#### c) 10 hours:
- To convert 10 hours into minutes, we use the conversion factor.
- [tex]\(10 \times 60 = 600\)[/tex] minutes.
So, 10 hours is equivalent to 600 minutes.
#### d) [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] hours (or 2.5 hours):
- To convert [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] hours into minutes, first recognize that [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] hours is the same as 2.5 hours.
- Now, convert 2.5 hours into minutes using the conversion factor.
- [tex]\(2.5 \times 60 = 150\)[/tex] minutes.
So, [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] hours (or 2.5 hours) is equivalent to 150 minutes.
### Summary:
- 2 hours = 120 minutes
- 7 hours = 420 minutes
- 10 hours = 600 minutes
- [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] hours = 150 minutes
