Question

jaden is going on a hike to the top of a mountain. It will take 3 hours and 48 minutes to hike up the mountain and 1 hour and 3 minutes to hike back down. If Jaden wants to finish the hike by 3:13 p.M, what is the latest time he can start the hike up the mountain?

Answer 1

10:22 A.M.

Explanation:

Let's start by writing 3:13 in 24-hour time: 15:13

15 hr 13 min - 1 hr 3 min = 14 hr 10 min

14 hr 10 min - 3 hr 48 min = 13 hr 70 min - 3 hr 48 min = 10 hr 22 min

Therefore, the absolute latest that Jaden can start the hike up the mountain is at 10:22 in the morning.
