Problem 1 Easy

The longest professional tennis match ever played lasted a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes. How many minutes was this?

  • A.

    605

  • B.

    655

  • C.

    665

  • D.

    1005

  • E.

    1105

Answer:C

It is best to split 11 hours and 5 minutes into 2 parts, one of 11 hours and another of 5 minutes. We know that there is 60 minutes in a hour. Therefore, there are 11 \cdot 60 = 660 minutes in 11 hours. Adding the second part(the 5 minutes) we get 660 + 5 = \boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 665}.
