Question

On Thursday afternoon at camp, Nora played basketball and went swimming before dinner. She started playing basketball at 2:50 P.M. and played for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Then she swam for 50 minutes. Dinner lasted for 1 hour. What time did dinner end?

Answer 1

6:25 PM

Explanation:

Start of dinner

2:50 PM + 1:45 + 0:50

convert it to minutes

2:50PM + 60+ 45 + 50

= 2:50Pm + 60 + (50 + 10) + (45 - 10)

= 4:50Pm + 35

= 4:50PM + 10 + 25

= 5:25PM

End of dinner

5:25PM + 1 = 6:25PM
