Question

Mr. Sloan leaves his house at 8:30. It takes 50 minutes to get to Boston airport. There were a 45 minute delay. It will take 5 hour and 10 minutes for the trip to Salt lake. What time will Mr. Sloan arrive in Salt Lake

Answer 1

15:15

Explanation:

The time he would get to salt lake is the sum of all the times

8: 30 + 45 min + 50 min + 5:10

to find the time, add only the minutes : 30 + 45 + 50 + 10 = 135 minutes

Remember 60 mins = 1 hour

so 135 mins = 2 hours 15 minutes

Now add the hours

8 + 5 = 13 hours

13 hours + 2 hours 15 minutes = 15:15
