Brian started cleaning at 3:33 PM and finished at 4:21 PM. The correct answer is 48 minutes

How did we figure this out?

First, we are figuring out what is given we are counting numbers or we can add to get to 4:21 PM.

Counting numbers:


\boxed{3:33=3:34=3:35=3:36=3:37=3:38=3:39=3:40 }

Add the numbers:


\boxed{3:33+7=3:40+10=3:50+10=4:00+21=4:21}

If we add the numbers it would be faster.

Therefore, when we add we get are answer.

Therefore, Brian started cleaning at 3:33 PM and finished at 4:21 PM. The correct answer is 48 minutes
