Question

Jesse made a list of chores he needed to complete before his father came home from work and he showed the time it would take him to complete each chore.

If Jesse's father is expected home at 6:10 p.m., what is the latest time Jesse could begin his chores?

A. 3;45 p.m.
B. 3:55 p.m.
C. 4:05 p.m.
D. 4:15 p.m.

Answer 1

I believe it is 3:45.

Answer 2

3:55 pm

Explanation:

Lets add all the time duration of each chore to know the overall time taken to complete all the chores .

Total time taken to finish the chores :-

5 + 25 + 30 + 60 + 15 = 135 mins or 2hr 15 min

If Jesse's father is expected to come at 6:10 pm , the exact time he should begin his chores is :-

6:10 - 2:15 = 3:55 pm
