Introductory Message
This Self – Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue
your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and
discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you
discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell
you if you can proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or
your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module,
you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for
each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, notes to the Teacher are also provided to our
facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use
a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. Read the instructions carefully
before performing each task.

2) How many hours are there in 120 minutes?
3) How many years are there in 24 months?
4) How many years are there in 730 days?

What is It
 Time is defined as an ongoing and continuous sequence of
events that occurs in succession, from the past through the present to
the future.
The units for measuring time are seconds (sec), minutes (min),
hours (hr) and days (d).
When you convert time, remember the following:
1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds

What’s More
Directions: Convert to shorter or longer time units. Write your answers on
a separate sheet.
1) 240 hours = ___ days 3) 120 seconds =____ minutes 2) 6
minutes =____ seconds 4) 120 hours =_____days

What I Have Learned

• To convert seconds to minutes, divide the number of seconds by 60.
EXAMPLE: 180 seconds = ____ minutes
180 seconds ÷ 60 = 3 minutes
• To convert minutes to seconds, multiply the number of minutes by 60.
EXAMPLE: 3 minutes = ____ seconds
3 minutes × 60 = 180 seconds
• To convert minutes to hours, divide the number of minutes by 60.
EXAMPLE: 180 minutes = ____ hours
180 minutes ÷ 60 = 3 hours
• To convert hours to minutes, multiply the number of hours by 60.
EXAMPLE: 3 hours = ___ minutes
3 hours × 60 = 180 minutes
• To convert the number of hours to days, divide the number of hours by
24.
EXAMPLE: 72 hours = ___days
72 hours ÷ 24 = 3 days
• To convert the number of days to hours, multiply the number of days
by 24.
EXAMPLE: 3 days = ____ hours
3 days × 24 = 72 hours

What I Can Do
Directions: Answer the following problems.
1) Your classmate walks to school for 900 seconds. How many minutes
does it take for him to reach the school?

Listed below are the conversion of units of measurement for telling time.

1 Day = 24 hours 1 Year = 12months

1 Week = 7 Days 1 Year = 52 weeks
1 Month = 30 Days 1 Year= 265 Days (except on a leap year
with 366 days)
th
Always take note that every 4 year is a leap year. A leap year has
366 days.

What I Have Learned

• To convert days to weeks, divide the number of days by 7.
21 days = ______ weeks
21 days ÷ 7 = 3 weeks
• To convert weeks to days, multiply the number of weeks by 7.
3 weeks = ______ days
3 weeks × 7 = 21 days
• To convert days to months, divide the number of days by 30.
90 days = ______ months
90 days ÷ 30 = 3 months

5
• To convert months to days, multiply the number of months by 30.
3 months = ____ days
3 months × 30 = 90 days
• To convert days to years, divide the number of days by 365.
1 095 days = ______ years
1 095 days ÷ 365 = 3 years
• To convert years to days, multiply the number of years by 365.
3 years = ______ days
3 years × 365 = 1 095 days
