Question

If someone watching at movie that was 2 hours and 35 minutes long and finished watching at 5:30pm .What time did the movie began

Answer 1

Answer: 2:55 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of the movie is 2 hour and 35 minutes

If the movie is finished at 5:30 PM

First, subtract 2 hours from the finishing time i.e.

$=5:30\ \text{PM}-2\ \text{hr}\\=3:30\ \text{PM}$

Now, subtract 35 minutes into two parts i.e. 30 min and 5 min from 3:30 PM

$=3:30\ \text{PM}-30\ \text{min}\\=3:00\ \text{PM}$

remaining 5 min

$=3:00\ \text{PM}-05\ \text{min}\\=2:55\ \text{PM}$

Thus, the starting time is 2:55 PM
