Hadmids will start at 11:00A.M., but the players must arrive at the field three-quarters of an hour early to warm up. The game must end by 1:15 P.M. Hadmid say he has to be at the field at 9:45 A.M is hadmid correct? Explain your answer.

"Three quarters of an hour early" would imply "3/4 hour before 11:00 a.m., which would be 10:15 a.m.  So Hadmid would be 30 minutes PLUS 45 minutes too early if he were to arrive at 9:45 a.m.
