Final answer:
To ensure all camp activities are completed by 2:45 pm, Trent must begin at 10:45 am. The total time needed for activities and packing is 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves calculating the total time needed for camp activity’s to ensure they finish before a specified deadline. Trent needs various amounts of time for different activities at camp, and we must add these up to see if he can start and finish them before 2:45 pm.
- Field competitions: 1 hour
- Rewards ceremony: 45 minutes
- Cook out: 1 hour and 15 minutes
- Packing and checkout time: 1 hour
Combining these times: 1 hour + 45 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes + 1 hour = 4 hours.
To convert minutes to hours when they sum to 60 or more:
- 45 minutes + 15 minutes = 1 hour
- Total time = 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour = 4 hours
Starting 4 hours before the deadline of 2:45 pm means Trent should start the camp activity’s at 10:45 am to finish on time.
