Question

Hamid's soccer game will start at 10:00 A.M., but the players must arrive at the field three-quarters of an hour early to warm up. The game must end by 11:10 A.M. Hamid says he has to be at the field at 8:45 A.M. Is Hamid correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

The game shall start at $10:00$ A.M.

The game shall end at $11:10$ A.M.

He has been asked to come to the ground three-quarters of an hour early to warm up.

The warm up will take place before the start of game i.e $10:00$ A.M.

Now,

Three-quarters of an hour is equal to $\frac{3}{4} ^{th}$ of an hour i.e $60$ minutes

$\frac{3}{4} * 60\\= 45$

This means that the player must come $45$ minutes before the start of the game i.e $10:00$ A.M.

Time at  $45$ minutes before the start of the game is

$9 : 15$  A.M.

Hence, Hamid is incorrect
