Question

You are scheduling a new delivery route and you need to find out how long it will take a driver to complete the route. You start the route at 9:50 A.M. and finish at 2:05 P.M. How long does it take to drive the route?

Answer 1

The route will take four hours and fifteen minutes. If you start at 9:50 and count four hours, you'll get to 1:50, add ten to get to 2:00, then add 5 minutes to get to 2:05. Four hours plus ten minutes plus five minutes, 4:15.

Answer 2

4 hours and 15 minutes

Explanation:

We have to find out how long it will take a driver to complete the route.

Time of start the route = 9:50 A.M.

Time of finish = 2:05 P.M.

We can convert the time of finish in 24 hours time

2:05 P.M = 14:05

Now we subtract start time from finish time.

14:05

- 09:50 [borrow 60 minutes to subtract 50 from 05]

04 : 15

It takes 4 hours and 15 minutes to drive the route.
