The astronauts from apollo 17 completed 3 space walks while on the moon for a total duration of 22 hour 4 minutes how many minutes did the astronauts walk in space

The duration of each of the three spacewalk is between 364 minutes and 480 minutes with a total duration of 1324 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A spacewalk also termed an EVA or extravehicular activity, is defined as the general activity of an astronaut outside of a vehicle in space

Spacewalks can last up to 5 to 8 hours

Here we have a word problem, and are required to find the number of minutes equivalent to 22 hour and 4 minutes

Number of minutes per hour = 60 minutes

Number of minutes in 22 hours = 60 * 22 = 1320 minutes

Total number of minutes in 22 hours 4 minutes = 1320 + 4 = 1324 minutes.

Whereby the duration of a space walk is up to 5 to 8 hours gives;

22 hours 4 minutes - 8 hour - 8 hour - x = 0

Hence x = 6 hour 4 minutes

Therefore, the duration of each spacewalk is between 6 hour 4 minutes and 8 hours or in minutes we have

The duration of each spacewalk is between (6 * 60 + 4) 364 minutes and 480 minutes.
