Question

Annie went to the playground at

3:49 P.M. She played on the slide for 55 minutes and the swings for 30 minutes, then went home. What time was it when Annie left the playground?

7:14 pm
5:14 pm
3:49 pm
4:44 pm

Answer 1

5:14PM

Explanation:

Word explanation: First step, you have to add 55 + 30 (In the time way) that gives you 1 hour and 25 minutes! Secondly, You can either directly solve or use the process of elimination. If you are tasked with 3 hours and 49 minutes plus 1 hour and 25 minutes you can eliminate the first option of 7:14 PM and the third option of 3:49 PM. You can also simplify 3 hours and 49 minutes to 4 hours and 1 hour and 25 minutes to 1 hour. 4 + 1 = 5 so you know it has to be close or past 5. That leaves the only answer of 5:14 pm

Math: 55 + 30 = equals 1 hour and 25 minutes.

3:49 + 1:25 = 5:14

Simplify (Rounding) 4 + 1 = 5

Answer is backed up by approximation!

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

It would be 5:14 because 55mins is 5 mins short of one hour which is 60 mins so you are already at 4:44 so it can’t be that’s then 30 mins from 4:44 is 5:14
