How many weeks are there in 226 days?
There are 7 days in one week. Therefore, 226 days is equal to 226/7 = 32 remainder 2 or 32 weeks 2 days.
How long has time been around?
Saying the words 'how long', we are asking the time period. Before time began, there was no time, and thus, even if it only started 100 million years ago, then that would be, say, forever, as before that time period, that was no time. So before time began, and there was no time, then there was nothing to calculate or even literally, the length of time that existed. Time, then, has been around forever, and if time ever stops, then this statement will no longer be able to make sense.
How many minutes is it before 12 noon if 48 minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 9 am?
You first need to convert everything to minutes:
12 noon = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes
9 am = 9 x 60 = 540 minutes
Let x = number of minutes before noon
The time now is 12 noon -x = 720 -x minutes
48 minutes ago it was 720-x-48
720 -x - 48 = 540 + 2x
720-48-540 = 3x
x = 44 minutes
It is 44 minutes before noon, or 11:16 am
