Final answer:

The question pertains to estimating arrival time using simple time calculations, akin to the positions on a clock face. An example is provided where the total time spent on activities is added to derive the arrival time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question seems to be concerned with calculating time, specifically using examples that refer to positions on a clock face as a method to describe time. Let's apply this method to a practical scenario involving a restaurant situation.


Consider the scenario where Maria has plans to meet her friends. Her activities are planned as follows:

  1. She spends 1 hour and 25 minutes at the gym.
  2. She takes 20 minutes to shower and change.
  3. Lastly, it takes her 15 minutes to drive to her friend's house

To calculate when Maria should arrive at her friend's house:

Add the time for each activity: 1 hr 25 min + 20 min + 15 min = 1 hr 60 min.

  1. Simplify 60 minutes to 1 hour: 60 min = 1 hr.
  2. Add this to the total number of hours: 1 hr + 1 hr = 2 hr
  3. Therefore, two hours after she started her journey, let's say at 1:00 pm, Maria would arrive at her friend's house at 3:00 pm.
