Question

B. 16:05
C. 16:15
D. 16:25

Answer 1

After adding the duration of the two halves and the halftime break to the starting time, the rugby match ends at 16:45, which was not among the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total duration of a rugby match is the sum of the two halves and the halftime break. Each half is 40 minutes and the halftime break is 10 minutes. Adding these up, we get 40 minutes + 40 minutes + 10 minutes = 90 minutes. If the match starts at 15:15 (3:15 PM), we need to add 90 minutes to find the end time. Here is the step-by-step addition of time:

• 15:15 + 40 minutes = 15:55 (First half ends)
• 15:55 + 10 minutes = 16:05 (Halftime ends)
• 16:05 + 40 minutes = 16:45 (Match ends)

So, the game will end at 16:45. However, this does not match any of the given options. It's possible that there was a typo in the original question regarding the options provided for the match's end time. Given the information, the correct answer is not listed among the options A, B, C, or D.
