Answer:

6:22

Explanation:

original time minutes when they both started - 47

47+ natalie's time

47+27 =74

minus 60 minutes to account for the hour (6 o'clock)

74-60=14

natalie finished at 6:14

warren finished 8 minutes after natalie's time

14+8=22

the hour did not finish so it will remain at 6

which leaves your final answer for the time that warren finished as 6:22
