Complete question:

The park closes at 2:30 P.M. There is a 15−minute break between each game played at the park, and each game takes the same amount of time as Hamid's soccer game. How many more games can be played before the park closes? Hamid's soccer game time is 7:00 to 9:15

Answer:

2 more games can be played before the park closes.

Explanation:

Given that Hamid's soccer game time is from 7:00 to 9:15 and there's a 15 minute break between games played, the next game time would be: 9:15 + 15 = 9:30

The time for each game would be calculated as:

stop time - start time = 9:15 - 7:00 = 2:15.

Thus, each game time = 2hrs 15mins

The next game time would be:

9:30 + 2:15 = 11:45

This means the next game would be from 9:30 to 11:45

After this, there would be another game(a second extra game) since the park closes at 2:30PM.

Therefore, the next game time would be:

11:45 + 15 mins break = 12:00

The game duration =

12:00 + 2hrs 15 mins = 14:15 or 2:15PM

Considering the fact that the park closes by 2:30 PM, 2 more games will be played.
