Question

Liam walked from his house to the school in 17 minutes. He arrived at the school at 7:50 a.m. Stephanie started walking 5 minutes after Liam left his house. She arrived at the school at 7:52 a.m. How long did it take Stephanie to walk to the school?​

Answer 1

14 minutes

Explanation:

If Liam got to school at 7:50, and it took him 17 minutes, that means he left at 7:33. Five minutes after 7:33 is 7:38, so that's when Stephanie left. She arrived at school at 7:52 am, so what we have to do is subtract 7:38 from 7:52 in order to get 14 minutes elapsed.
