Answer 1

2:50 p.m.

Explanation:

After he got home, his activities were:

homework: 45 minutes

break & snack: 35 minutes

baseball practice: 1 hour 55 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

Total time of activities:

45 minutes + 35 minutes + 60 minutes + 55 minutes = 195 minutes

195 minutes = 180 minutes + 15 minutes = 3 hours 15 minutes

Now we subtract 3 hours 15 minutes for 6:05 p.m.

6:05

- 3:15

----------

We need to borrow 1 hour from 6 hours. 1 hour is 60 minutes. 6 hours becomes 5 hours. We add the 1 hour as 60 minutes to the 5 minutes.

6:05 5:65

- 3:15 --------> - 3:15

----------- ----------

2:50

Answer: 2:50 p.m.
