Answer: 3:08

Explanation:

They started riding at 2:47 and reached the soccer field 21 minutes later.

The time they go to the field is therefore:

= 2:47 + 21 minutes

= 3:08

Adding time:

First find out the number of minutes needed to take 2:47 to 3:00:

= 60 minutes in an hour - 47

= 13 minutes

Then remove the 13 minutes from the 21 minutes of riding:

= 21 - 13

= 8 minutes

Add this 8 to 3:00:

= 3 + 8

= 3:08
