Question

4. Patti and her friends want to see one of
two movies. One movie starts in 1 day
2 hours 20 minutes. The other movie
starts in 1 day 4 hours 10 minutes. The
later movie starts at 5:00 P.M. At what
time does the earlier movie start?

Answer 1

Answer:

The earlier movie starts at 1610 (4:10 PM)

Step-by-step explanation:

The later movie starts at 1700 (5:00 PM), and is in 1 day, 4 hours and 10 minutes. That means the time is __:50. Additionally, it's in 4 hours. 1700 - 400 = 1300 (1:00 PM). Now we know the time is 1350 (1:50 PM) presently.

If it's currently 1:50 PM, and the earlier movie starts 2 hours from this time tomorrow, then it begins at 1350 + 200 = 1550 (3:50PM). Take into account that there's also another 20 minutes before the movie commences, it will be 1610 (4:10 PM).

Good luck!!
