Question

Dad arrived home at 4:50 p.m. He left work 40. Minutes ago. What time did dad get off work

Answer 1

4:10pm

Explanation:

If he left 40 minutes ago and arrived at 4:50pm, then we must subtract the 40 minutes from the time, 4:50pm.

Remember we are subtracting minutes, not hours so we will only subtract from the minutes on the time, which displays 50.

50 - 40 = 10

4:10pm

Answer 2

4:10 p.m.

Explanation:

4:50 p.m.

60 minutes in an hour

4:50 - 40 = 4:10
