Answer:
50 minutes
Explanation:
Time when patty goes to mall = 9:30 am
Time when he has to meet a friend = 11.15 Am
Spare time patty has is interval between Time when he has to meet a friend
and Time when patty goes to mall
which can be written as
Spare time patty has = 9:30 am to 10:30 am which is 1 hours 45 mins.
One hour has 60 minutes.
Thus total time in minutes patty has = 1*60 minutes + 45 minutes = 105 minutes.
Time which will be used by Patty to have lunch = 55 minutes.
Time left out if 55 minutes are used in lunch = total spare time - time for lunch = (105 - 55 ) minutes = 50minutes.
Patty wants to shop in the spare time after allocating 55 minutes to lunch.
Thus the rest of time which is 50 minutes, he can use to shop.
