Question

Johnny had a math test and he started at 2:18 p.M. It took 75 minutes to complete the test. He had a dentist's appointment at 4:30 p.M. How much time, in minutes, did he have between the end of the test and his appointment time

Answer 1

57 minutes

Explanation:

First, add 75 minutes to the time he started the test. Then, subtract the time you get from the time for his dentist appointment.

75 minutes is the same as 1 hour 15 minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes)

H M

2 : 18

+ 1 : 15

3 : 33

He ended the test by 3:33 PM.

H M

4 : 30

- 3 : 33

0 : 57

Therefore, he had 57 minutes between the end of the test and his appointment.
