Answer 1

The Solution:

1.

Mrs. Cruz started cooking at 11:30 A.M and she used 45 minutes to finish cooking.

We are asked to find the time she finishes cooking.

Adding 11:30 to 45, we get

`\begin{gathered} 11\colon30\text{ A.M} \\ +45 \\ ------ \\ 12.15\text{ P.M} \end{gathered}`

Thus, she finished cooking at 12.15 P.M

2.

Dante started his lunch at 12:45 P.M. He finished at 1:15 P.M.

We are asked to find how long it took him to eat.

Subtracting 12:45 P.M from 1:15 P.M.

Note:

1:15 P.M = 12:75

So,

`\begin{gathered} 12\colon75\text{ P.M} \\ - \\ 12\colon45\text{ P.M} \\ ---------- \\ 00\colon30\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Dante spent 30 minutes eating his lunch.
