Answer 1

Thus, the Anthony's family were away for 1 hour 46 minutes

Explanation:

We are being told that Anthony's family went out to dinner and they left at the time shown on the clock (i.e 5;05 P.M) and they returned home at 6:51 P.M.

We are to calculate how long was Anthony's family gone

We all know that:

60 seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

So from 5:05 to 6:05 = 60 minutes

From 6:05 to 6:35 = 30 minutes

From 6:35 to 6:45 = 10 minutes

From 6:45 to 6:51 = 6 minutes

Therefore ; to deduce how long was Anthony's family gone; we will have to sum up the values of the minutes from the above time- frames up;

So; (60 + 30 + 10 + 6 ) minutes

= 106 minutes

since 60 minutes = 1 hour

Then 106 minutes = 1 hour 46 minutes

Thus, the Anthony's family were away for 1 hour 46 minutes
