Question

Aaliyah and her friends had a movie marathon. They started watching movies at 1:29 P.M. The movie marathon ended at 9:04 P.M. How long did the movie marathon last?

Answer 1

7 hours 35 minutes

Explanation:

You want to know the length of the time period between 1:29 pm and 9:04 pm.

Hours

Remembering that an hour is 60 minutes, we can rewrite the ending time before we subtract the beginning time.

9:04 -1:29

= 8:64 -1:29 = (8-1):(64-29) = 7:35

The movie marathon lasted 7 hours 35 minutes.
