Question

Bob went to a baseball game the game started at 9:45 a.m. and it was 3 hours and 34 minutes long when did the game end​

Answer 1

1:19PM

Explanation:

To solve this, we can first add up the minutes.

• 45 + 34 = 79

• 
  `(79)/(60)`
  `=1(19)/(60)`

Why do we convert it into a fraction?

We convert to a fraction because if there are 60 minutes in an hour, we need to find out how many hours are in 79 minutes.

Now, we can add up the hours.

• 9 + 3 = 12

• 12AM + 1 hour = 1PM

• 1PM + 19 = 1:19 PM

Therefore, the game ended at 1:19 PM
