Question

Ivan and his sister started watching an action movie at 12:40 P.M. The movie was 2 hoursand 10 minutes long. After the movie, they played soccer in the backyard for 2 hours and 6minutes. What time was it when Ivan and his sister finished playing soccer?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

4:56 P.M.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the departure time is 12:40 P.M.

First we must calculate the total time spent, both in the movie and in the soccer game, like this:

$2\text{ h+10 min + 2 h +6 min =4 h 16 min}$

Which means that the time after finishing playing soccer would be 4 hours and 16 minutes later, that is:

$\begin{gathered} 12\text{ h + 4 h + 40 min + 16 min = 16 h + 56 min } \\ \text{16 h + 56 min }=4\colon56P\mathrm{}M\text{.} \end{gathered}$

The time would be at 4:56 P.M.
