D. 1:15 pm

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C. 12:15 pm.

TTrent needs to start the camp activities at 12:15 pm to ensure they are finished by 2:45 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

o find the time Trent needs to start the camp activities, we need to add up the times for each activity and then add 1 hour for packing.

Trent needs:

• Hours for field competitions = 2 hours
• 45 minutes for the rewards ceremony = 45 minutes
• 1 hour and 15 minutes for the cookout = 1 hour 15 minutes

Adding these times together:

2 hours + 45 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes = 2 hours 45 minutes

Now, we need to add 1 hour to account for packing:

2 hours 45 minutes + 1 hour = 3 hours 45 minutes

Therefore, Trent needs to start the camp activities at 12:15 pm to ensure they are finished by 2:45 pm.
