A group of students conducted a study on school history for 5 weeks and 4 days. They completed the report for their study in 1 week and 5 days. Find the duration of time they took to complete the study and the report.

SOLUTION:
Study period: 5 weeks 4 days
Report period: 1 week 5 days

Total duration: 5 weeks 4 days + 1 week 5 days = ?

\(\begin{aligned} 5\,\text{weeks}\;4\,\text{days}\\ \underline{+\;1\,\text{week}\;5\,\text{days}}\\ 6\,\text{weeks}\;9\,\text{days} \\\hline\end{aligned}\)

1 WEEK = 7 DAYS
6 weeks 9 days = 7 weeks 2 days

5 weeks 4 days + 1 week 5 days = 7 weeks 2 days

Amri is 8 years 3 months old. The difference between Amri's age and his little brother's age is 2 years 7 months. Find his little brother's age.

SOLUTION:
Amri's age: 8 years 3 months
Little brother's age: 2 years 7 months younger than Amri

Little brother's age: = 8 years 3 months - 2 years 7 months

1 YEAR = 12 MONTHS
8 years 3 months = 7 years 15 months

\(\begin{aligned} 7\,\text{years}\;15\,\text{months}\\ \underline{-\;2\,\text{years\,\,}\;7\,\text{months}}\\ 5\,\text{years\,\,}\;8\,\text{months} \\\hline\end{aligned}\)

8 years 3 months - 2 years 7 months = 5 years 8 months
Little brother's age: 5 years 8 months
