Claire has to go to the movie theater the movie starts at 4:15 pm it is a 25min walk to the theater from her home what time dose the have to leave the house to get there on time

Answer 1

3:50 pm

Explanation:

Starting Time + Time Interval = Ending Time

=> Ending Time - Time Interval = Starting Time

Ending Time = 4:15 pm

Time Interval = 25 minutes

Starting Time = x

=> 4:15 - 25 = x

=> 4:15 - 15 - 10 = x

=> (4:15 - 15) - 10 = x

=> 4:00 - 10 = x

=> 3:50 pm = x

So, she needs to leave the house at 3:50 pm to get to the movie theater on time.
