Final answer:

To find out what time it was when Wyatt went down the water slide, add the wait time to the initial time and convert it to hours and minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wyatt got in line for the water slide at 2:01. He waited 11 minutes to go down the slide. To find out what time it was when Wyatt went down the water slide, we need to add the wait time to the initial time.

Add the minutes together: 1 (minute) + 11 (minutes) = 12 (minutes). Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we need to convert the minutes to hours and minutes. 12 divided by 60 is 0.2, so we have 0 hours and 0.2(0.2 * 60 minutes = 12 minutes) more. Add the hours and minutes together: 2 (hour) + 0 (hour) = 2 (hour), 1 (minute) + 12 (minutes) = 13 (minutes). Therefore, it was 2:13 when Wyatt went down the water slide.
