Question

C) blank + 48 minutes= 16:00

Answer 1

15:12

Explanation

to find the missing value we need to solve the equation

`blank+48minutes=16\colon00​`

so, to isolate the blank subtract 48 minutes in both sides

`\begin{gathered} blank+48minutes-48minutes=16\colon00-48minutes​ \\ blank=16\colon00-48minutes​ \end{gathered}`

To subtract time,subtract minutes then subtract the hours, since we can not have negative minutes , add 60to minutes and subtract 1 from the hours , so

`16\colon00\text{ =15 hours +60 minutes}`

replace and do the subtraction

`\begin{gathered} blank=16\colon00-48minutes​ \\ blank=15\colon00-48minutes​+60\text{minutes} \\ blank=15\colon12 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the answer is

15:12
