Question

Darnell went to the movies with his friends. the movie started at 2:35 pm and lasted 1 hour 45 minutes .what time did the movie end?

Answer 1

The movie ended at 4:20 P.M.

Explanation:

You know 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, so you would add 1 hour or 60 minutes to 2:35. To not complicate it, just add 2+1 which will be 3, so for now it will be 3:35.

Then you have to add the 45 minutes, which would be equal to 80. So it would basically be 3:80P.M. But since 1 hour only has 60 minutes, you can substract 80-60, which is equal to 20. Since you substracted 1 hour, you add that to the time, which would be 4:00, and you add what's remaining (20) and it will give you the answer, which is 4:20.

Therefore, the movie ended at 4:20P.M.

Answer 2

In order to solve this, we just need to know what time the movie began and how long it lasted. We know that the movie started at 2:35 and lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. We can split the time that it lasted into the hour and the 45 minutes to make things easier, since 1 hour after 2:35 is simply 3:35.

From here, we can add the extra 45 minutes. We can do this by first finding out how many minutes were left in that hour. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and 60 - 35 = 25 minutes

45 - 25 = 20

So after adding the 25 minutes to complete the hour (4:00), we have 20 minutes left, which we can add to the new time to find out the final time that the movie ended.

4:00 + 0:20 = 4:20

The movie that Darnell and his friends went to see ended at 4:20.
Hope that helped! =)
