Question

Jack went to baseball practice at 5:45 p.m. He returned home at 8:22 p.m. How long was he gone for? SHOW YOUR WORK PLEASE

Answer 1

2 hours and 37 mins

Explanation:

you want to get to a full hour so 5:45 closes hour would be 15 minutes later which would be 6:00 and then you add 2 hours which would be 8:00 and you have 22 minutes to get 822 p.m. so you add the minutes together 15 + 22 which you'll get 37 and you'll have the 2 hours on the side so it would be 2 hours and 37 minutes
