Question

Martha and Bob went running. They started down the path at 3:25 P.M. When they finished running it was 4:30 P.M. How long did the run take?

Answer 1

1 hour and 5 minutes, or 65 minutes.

Explanation:

Let's suppose 3:25 was 3:30 by rounding up 5 minutes, to make life easier. In one hour, it would be 4:30, which is when Martha and Bob finished running. So we know that between 3:25 and 4:30, they at least ran one hour. Now, since we rounded up 5 minutes, we have to add that too to make our final running time for them, 1 hour and 5 minutes. Hope this helped!
