Kurt and Drew walk the same distance to school. Their start and end times are different.
Who got to school faster, and by how many minutes?
Kurt​

Answer 1

Option C.

Explanation:

Kurt started for the school at 07:35 and ends at 08:25.

Time taken by Kurt to reach the school

= 08:25 - 07:35

= (07 hours + 85 minutes) - (07 hours + 35 minutes) [Since 08 hours + 25 minutes = 07 hours + (60 + 25)minutes]

= 85 minutes - 35 minutes

= 50 minutes

Time taken by Drew to reach the school

= 08:30 - 07:55

= (07 hours + 90 minutes) - (07 hours + 55 minutes) [Since 08 hours + 30 minutes = 07 hours + (60 + 30)minutes]

= 90 minutes - 55 minutes

= 35 minutes

Difference in the time taken by Kurt and Drew = 50 - 35 = 15 minutes.

Therefore, Drew is 15 minutes faster than Kurt.

Option C. is the answer.
