Answer:

Explanation:

if both tours start at 8:30 A.M, the NC (National Capitol) 8:45, and the WH (White House) leaves at 8:50.

NC

08:45 08:50

09:00 09:10

09:15 09:30

09:30 09:50

09:45 10:10

10:00 10:30

10:15 10:50

10:30 11:10

10:45

11:00

Both tours leave at 9:30, and then away at 10:30.

They leave at the same time every hour.
