Question

A scout troop took a camping trip to the dunes that lasted for 97 minutes. Along the way, they stopped

at 10:48AM for a break. The troop didn't check the time when they left, but when they arrived a park
ranger said it was 11:37AM. What time did they start the trip?

Answer 1

they started trip at 10:00 am

Explanation:

Let's call the starting time "S".

The arrival time is 11:37AM,

difference in time after break to park arrived : 11:37 am - 10:48 am = 49 minutes

remaining time : 97-49= 48 minutes

starting time= 10:48 am -48 minutes = 10:00 am
