Question

6. Mr Wade works for 5 straight

hours when he opens his stand
After a 1 hour break he works
6 hours and 15 minutes before
Closing at 6:10p.m. What time
does Mr Wade open his stand
​

Answer 1

5:55am

Start by finding how long the stand was open. Add 5 hours + 1 hour + 6 hours 15 minutes to get 12 hours 15 minutes.

Now, just find the time that is 12 hours and 15 minutes before 6:10pm. Start by subtracting 12 hours, which just switches the time from a.m. to p.m. This brings you to 6:10am. Finally, subtract the 15 minutes to get 5:55am.
