Question

Please help me fast!!!. Joe and his family are touring Chicago. They want to visit the Willis Tower, hang out at Navy Pier, and shop on Michigan Avenue before their dinner reservations at 5:10 P.M. They plan to spend 1 hour and 10 minutes at the Willis Tower, 3 hours and 10 minutes at Navy Pier, and 1 hour and 15 minutes shopping. What is the latest time Joe's family can start their tour of Chicago and still make it to dinner on time?

Include A.M. or P.M. in your answer.

Answer 1

11:10 am.

Explanation:

The first thing I'm going to do is to add all the given time together

Total time = time spent at Willis tower + time spent at Navy Pier + time spent shopping

Total time = 1 HR and 10 minutes + 3 HR and 10 minutes + 1 hour and 15 minutes

Total time = (1 + 3 + 1) hr + (10 + 10 + 15) minutes

Total time = 5 hours + 35 minutes

The question doesn't make mention of how long they spent making the journey so, I'm assuming they spent 35 minutes driving around from Willis to the Pier and finally while shopping

Time = total time + time spent driving

Time = 5 hours 35 minutes + 35 minutes

Time = 6 hours and 10 minutes

Now, this time we've calculated, is what we're going to subtract from the dinner time to get our final answer

Needed time = dinner time - time

Needed time = 5:10 pm - 6:10

Needed time = 17:10 - 6:10

Needed time = 11:10

This means that they ought to start their tour by 11:10 am, so that they can meet their dinner
