Jon put the pie in at 5:15. 35 minutes later, at 6:50 PM, it was ready. Option B is the right choice.

We know that Jon put the pie in the oven at 5:15 PM. We also know that it took 35 minutes for the pie to cook. To find the time at which Jon took the pie out of the oven, we need to add the cooking time to the start time.

So, we can think of this problem as an addition problem:

Start time + Cooking time = End time

We can plug in the values we know:

5:15 PM + 35 minutes = End time

To solve for the end time, we can add 35 minutes to 5:15 PM. There are a few ways to do this:

We can use a clock to visualize the problem. Starting at 5:15 PM, move the minute hand ahead 35 minutes. This lands us at 6:50 PM.

We can convert the minutes to hours and minutes. 35 minutes is equal to 0.583 hours. Adding this to 5:15 PM gives us 6:50 PM.

We can simply count 35 minutes forward from 5:15 PM. This also gives us 6:50 PM.

Therefore, Jon took the pie out of the oven at 6:50 PM.

The answer is option B. 6:50 p.m.
