Question

At what time does a TV program finish if it starts at 7:45 and ends 50 minutes later?

A) 8:25
B) 8:30
C) 8:35
D) 8:45

Answer 1

The TV program that starts at 7:45 and runs for 50 minutes will finish at 8:35. The calculation involves adding the duration to the start time in steps, first reaching 8:30, then adding the remaining time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out at what time a TV program ends if it starts at 7:45 and ends 50 minutes later, we need to add the duration to the start time. Adding 50 minutes to 7:45 brings us to the following time:

1. Add 45 minutes to 7:45 to reach 8:30.
2. Since 45 minutes is less than 50, we need to add the remaining 5 minutes to 8:30.
3. Adding 5 minutes to 8:30 brings us to 8:35.

Therefore, the TV program finishes at 8:35. The correct answer to the question is C) 8:35.
