Question

The piper family arrived at the campground at the time shown on the clock. I took the family 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to the campground. What time did the family leave their house?

Answer 1

As you included no picture, I do not know the time on the clock. We can however, work with assumed figures which you can then relate to your question.

Assuming the time on the clock was 10:45 am, if the family took 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to the camp ground, simply subtract this from 10:45 to find out what time they arrived.

Subtract the 2 hours from 10am:

= 10 - 2

= 8am

Subtract the 15 minutes from 45:

= 45 - 15

= 30

Put that together:

= 8:30 am

They left their house at 8:30 am using this scenario.
