Ruth is touring New York City with her family. They want to visit the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Times Square before their dinner reservations at 7:10 P.M. They want to spend 1 hour and 25 minutes at the Empire State Building, 2 hours and 5 minutes in Central Park, and 50 minutes in Times Square. What is the latest time Ruth's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time?

Pls help :)

Answer:

The latest time Ruth's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time is 2:50 P.M

Step-by-step

Change:

7h10= 430 mins

1 hour and 25 minutes= 85 mins

2 hours and 5 mintues= 125 mins

- Total time Ruth wants to do before his dinner reservations:

85+ 125+ 50= 260 (mins)

- The latest time Ruth's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time:

430- 260= 170 (mins)

Change: 170 mins= 2 hours and 50 minutes

Good luck!
