Answer 1

1 hour = 60 minutes.

10 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 600 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

39 seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 0.65 minutes.

600 + 39 + 0.65 = 639.65 total minutes.

Answer 2

1 hour = 60 minutes.

10 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 600 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

39 seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 0.65 minutes.

600 + 39 + 0.65 = 639.65 total minutes.
