The equation would be 3.75+t=11.2 so:

3.75+t=11.2

3.75+t-3.75=11.2-3.75

t=7.45, which is 7:35.

Answer:

t + 3:45 = 11:20 am

Explanation:

A rocket is scheduled to launch from a command center in 3.75 hours.

The launch time is 11:20 am.

We need to know the time before 3.75 hours of 11:20 am.

3.75 hours = 3 hours (0.75 × 60) = 45 minutes

Let the current time be 't'

Now the equation will be

t + 3:45 = 11:20 am

t = 11:20 - 3:45

t = 7 : 35 am

Before 3.75 hours of 11:20 am it will be 7:35 am.
