To solve \(4 \text{h } 38 \text{min} + 6 \cdot (3 \text{h } 15 \text{min} - 2 \text{h } 57 \text{min})\), follow these steps:
Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 3 \text{h } 15 \text{min} - 2 \text{h } 57 \text{min} \]
First, convert everything to minutes:
\[ 3 \text{h } 15 \text{min} = 3 \cdot 60 + 15 = 180 + 15 = 195 \text{ min} \] \[ 2 \text{h } 57 \text{min} = 2 \cdot 60 + 57 = 120 + 57 = 177 \text{ min} \] Now subtract:
\[ 195 \text{ min} - 177 \text{ min} = 18 \text{ min} \]
Multiply by 6: \[ 6 \cdot 18 \text{ min} = 108 \text{ min} \]
Convert 108 minutes back to hours and minutes: \[ 108 \text{ min} = 1 \text{ h } 48 \text{ min} \]
Add this to \(4 \text{h } 38 \text{min}\): \[ 4 \text{h } 38 \text{min} + 1 \text{h } 48 \text{min} \]
First, add the hours:
\[ 4 \text{ h} + 1 \text{ h} = 5 \text{ h} \]
Next, add the minutes:
\[ 38 \text{ min} + 48 \text{ min} = 86 \text{ min} \]
Since \(86 \text{ min} = 1 \text{ h } 26 \text{ min}\), we convert minutes to hours:
\[ 5 \text{ h } + 1 \text{ h} = 6 \text{ h} \] \[ 26 \text{ min} \]
Finally, the result is:
\[ 6 \text{ h } 26 \text{ min} \]
