Weird bases

When there are not 10 things per "unit"

Weird bases are things like "pounds and ounces" or "hours and seconds"

Examples:

  • There are 16 ounces in a pound
  • There are 12 hours in a day
  • There are 60 seconds in a minute

You might get questions like:

  • How many minutes are there in a day?
  • Add 3 mins 30 seconds to 58 mins 10 seconds
  • Express 64,000 seconds in days
