Layla went to see a play at a theater downtown. The first act was 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Intermission lasted for 15 minutes, and the second act was 1 hour long. The second act ended at 8:00 P.M. What time did the play start?

Include A.M. or P.M. in your answer (for example, 11:58 A.M.).

Answer:

5:30 PM

Explanation:

I pretty much went subtracting the time from 8:00 PM.

The total time of the acts was 2 hours and 30 minutes long. So 8-2=6 30 minutes equals 5:30PM
