Converting Units of Time Word Problems Worksheet Download
Sheets 909 and 910 convert days to weeks and hours to days as bare exercises; this is the word-problem form and it covers the seconds-to-minutes and minutes-to-hours pairs neither of them touches. Two of the four contexts convert down to the larger unit and two multiply up to the smaller one, so the sheet cannot be worked by applying one operation to every problem - deciding which way the conversion goes is most of the skill.
