Question

Malerie is running late for school. She was

supposed to leave her house at 8:05 am.
However, her alarm didn't go off. She left
her house at 9:13. How late was she in
leaving her house?

Answer 1

1 Hour and 8 Minutes (If she left at 9:13 AM)

13 hours and 8 Minutes (If she left at 9:13 PM)

Explanation:

You can figure this out by simply starting out with 8:05 AM and adding an hour to it. That starts you off with 9:05. From there you can count the remainder of the 8 minutes and use it to get your answer, 1 hour and 8 Minutes.

(For the unlikely chance she left her house at 9:13 pm, you do the same thing but instead of adding one hour you add 12, and then add the 1 hour and 8 minutes to get your answer of 13 hours and 8 minutes.)
