Answer:
09 : 55 am
Explanation:
Given:
Trevor spent 15 minutes in the shoe store
25 minutes in the candle store
And then 10 minutes in the card store
Trevor left the card store at 10 : 45 am
Question asked:
What time did he arrive at the shoe store ?
Solution:
Time spent in the shoe store = 15 minutes
Time spent in the candle store = 25 minutes
Time spent in the card store = 10 minutes
Total time spent = 15 minutes + 25 minutes + 10 minutes
= 50 minutes
Now, As it is given that Trevor left the card store at 10 : 45 am and we have to find What time he arrived at the shoe store, we subtract 50 minutes from 10 : 45,
Hours Minutes
10 45
- 0 50
..............................................
09 55
.....................................................
Note : As 45 is less than 50 and cannot be subtracted, taken 1 hour carry out of 10 hours from hours section and as 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, now it has ; 45 + 60 = 105 minutes and by subtracting 50 from 105 , we get 55 minutes.
And out 10 hours, 1 hour is already given carry to the minute section , hence we get 9 hours.
Thus, he arrived at 09 : 55 am at the shoe store.
