Several hundred years in the future, humans discover an alien world named Noveria. On Noveria, time is measured in pjokas, which is equivalent to 5.93 seconds, There are 7 pjok in every pjokas (much like there are 60 seconds in a minute). If a Noverian alien watches 40 mok of cat videos, how many minutes is this?

Question

Several hundred years in the future, humans discover an alien world named Noveria. On Noveria, time is measured in pjokas, which is equivalent to 5.93 seconds, There are 7 pjok in every pjokas (much like there are 60 seconds in a minute). If a Noverian alien watches 40 mok of cat videos, how many minutes is this?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1 Given

1 pjok = 5.93 s

1 mok = 7 pjokas

1 min = 60 s

Step 2

Since,

1 pjok = 5.93 s and 1 mok = 7 pjokas

Therefore,

1 mok = 7×5.93 s = 41.51 s

Now since,

1 mok = 41.51 s1 s = 141.51 mok

Now, 

1 min = 60 s 1 min = 6041.51 mok 1 mok = 41.5160 min

The number of minutes in 40 mok is:

40 mok =40×41.5160 min= 27.67 min
