Question

Jax takes a bus from Washington DC to New York City. The trip takes 5 hrs. and 47 minutes. He arrives in New York City at 1:58 pm. what time did the bus leave Washington DC?

Answer 1

8:11 a.m.

Explanation:

We need top subtract 5:47 from 1:58 pm.

Since we cannot subtract 5 from 1, we add 12 to the 1:58 hours digit.

1 + 12 = 13

1 pm is 13 hours of the day.

13:58 - 5:47 = 8:11

Answer: 8:11 a.m.
