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.

  1. Field competitions: 1 hour
  2. Rewards ceremony: 45 minutes
  3. Cook out: 1 hour and 15 minutes
  4. 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.
