Answer 1

a day is 24 hrs so you times 24 by 3 which is 72hrs, add 10hrs to 72hrs which is equal to 82 hrs, then divide 840 minutes by 60  which is equal to 14 hrs,finaly add 14 + 82 = 96 hrs

96hrs for an average man to walk 100 miles.

Answer 2

There are 60 minutes in an hour. Divide 840 by 60.

840 / 60 = 14 hours

14 + 10 = 24

1 day is equal to 24 hours, 3 days is equal to 72 hours.

3 x 24 = 72

72 + 24 = 96 hours all together.
