Question

Harold got home from school at 3:50 P.M. and played video games for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Then, it took him 1 hour and 40 minutes to finish his homework. What time was it when Harold finished his homework?

Answer 1

6:35 PM

Explanation:

When Harold got home, it was already 3:50 PM. Then he played games for an hour and five minutes. Adding on an hour, it made the time 4:50 PM, and then adding on the five minutes, made the time 4:55 PM. When he finished playing games, he took an hour and forty minutes to do his homework. 4:55 PM, adding on the hour makes it 5:55 PM, then adding the 40 minutes, makes it 6:45 PM.
