A Coast Guard coordinator is reviewing the maximum patrol durations of four different rescue vessels. Arrange the vessels' maximum patrol durations from longest to shortest.

1Vessel Protector: $148$ minutes
2Vessel Sentinel: $2$ hours and $25$ minutes
3Vessel Guardian: $2.4$ hours
4Vessel Defender: $8,520$ seconds

Cevap

The correct sequence from longest to shortest is Vessel Protector, Vessel Sentinel, Vessel Guardian, and Vessel Defender.

Converting each vessel's duration to minutes reveals their true lengths: Vessel Protector is

148

minutes, Vessel Sentinel is

145

minutes (

120 + 25

), Vessel Guardian is

144

minutes (

2.4 \times 60

), and Vessel Defender is

142

minutes (

8,520 \div 60

). Ordering these numerical values from greatest to least produces the correct sequence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the need to standardize all durations into a common unit.

Minutes are chosen as the standard unit.

Converting all times into minutes makes direct numerical comparison straightforward.

Convert Vessel Sentinel's duration to minutes.

145

minutes

2

hours

\times 60 = 120

minutes. Adding the remaining

25

minutes yields

145

minutes.

Convert Vessel Guardian's duration to minutes.

144

minutes

Multiply decimal hours by

60

2.4 \times 60 = 144

minutes.

Convert Vessel Defender's duration to minutes.

142

minutes

Divide seconds by

60

8,520 \div 60 = 142

minutes.

Compare all standardized times and arrange them from longest to shortest.

Protector (

148

) > Sentinel (

145

) > Guardian (

144

) > Defender (

142

)

To fulfill the core requirement of the prompt.
