Answer 1

❍ Question -:

Paul woke up for school at 7:30 AM. He took 14 minutes to get ready, 9 minutes to finish his breakfast and 39 minutes to commute to school. At what time did he reach the school?

❍ Explanation -:

In this question we are asked to calculate the time paul reach the school.

Altogether time paul took to get ready, to finish his breakfast and to commute to school.

(14 + 9 + 39) minutes

→ (23 + 39) minutes

→ 62 minutes

Now we will convert minutes into hour.

62 ÷ 60

→ 1 hr 2 min

Now we will calculate the time he reached his school.

7 hr + 30 + 1 hr 2 min

`\begin{array}{cc}7 \sf{hrs} \: & \: 30 \sf{min} \\ \underline{1 \: \sf{hr}} & \underline{2 \sf{min} } \\ \pmb{8 \sf{hrs}}& \pmb{32 \sf{min}}\end{array}`

He will reach the school at 8:32 AM.

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 8:32\ AM}`

Explanation:

Woke up = 7:30 AM

Time to:

• Get ready = 14 min
• Finish breakfast = 9 min
• Commute to school = 39 min

Altogether:

= 14 + 9 + 39 min

= 62 minutes

(As we know that, 1 hour = 60 minutes)

So,

62 minutes = 1 hour 2 minutes

Time he reached the school:

7 hr 30 min + 1 hr 2 min

Combine like terms

7 hr + 1 hr + 30 min + 2 min

8 hr + 32 min

OR

8:32 AM

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
