Question

Hamid's soccer game will start at 10:00 A.M., but the players must arrive at the field three-quarters of an hour early to warm up. The game must end by 11:10 A.M. Hamid says he has to be at the field at 8:45 A.M. Is Hamid correct?

Answer 1

Incorrect

Explanation:

Given-

The game shall start at
`10:00` A.M.

The game shall end at
`11:10` A.M.

He has been asked to come to the ground three-quarters of an hour early to warm up.

The warm up will take place before the start of game i.e
`10:00` A.M.

Now,

Three-quarters of an hour is equal to
`(3)/(4) ^(th)` of an hour i.e
`60` minutes

`(3)/(4) * 60\\= 45`

This means that the player must come
`45` minutes before the start of the game i.e
`10:00` A.M.

Time at
`45` minutes before the start of the game is

`9 : 15` A.M.

Hence, Hamid is incorrect
