Question

Arthur sets off at 9am. Arthur's journey north will take 2 hours and 35 minutes, but the train makes a stop for 45 minutes at Crewe. What time will he eventually arrive at his destination?

Answer 1

12:20 PM

Explanation:

Simply add 35 and 45, which would give you 80. Since you know that there can only be 60 minutes in an hour, you just subtract 60 from 80, which will give you 20. all those 60 minutes (or an hour) to the 32 hours you already have. Now you have 3 hours. Now add the 20 minutes we have left over and then you have an answer of 3 hours and 20 minutes. Now add 3 hours and 20 minutes to 9 AM and you get an answer of 12:20 PM.

Answer 2

I believe the answer to be 12:20 p.m.

Explanation:

2 hours and 35 minutes + the 45 minute stop = 3 hours and 20 minutes.

From 9:00 am, 3 hours is 12:00, plus the 20 minutes left over.
