Question

Ryan hiked to a famous point with a beautiful view. It took 2 hours to hike to the viewpoint and 30 minutes to hike back. Ryan spent 35 minutes enjoying the view at the top. He finished the hike at 3:15 P.M. What time did Ryan start the hike to the viewpoint?

Include A.M. or P.M. in your answer (for example, 11:58 A.M.).

Answer 1

12: 10 pm

Explanation:

In the question, we need to backtrack time. But first, let's figure out the amount of time he spent in total.

2h(time spent going to the place) + 35m(time spent at the place) + 30m( back)

2h = 120m

120 + 35 + 30 = 185m

Now, it said he ended at 3:15pm

so 3:15 - 185 = 0: 10 which is 12: 10 PM
