Jeremy spends 44 minutes eating dinner with his family. Jeremy finishes eating dinner at 6:09. What time did the clock show when Jeremy started eating dinner?

Answer 1

5:25

Explanation:

Borrow 1 hour from 6 hours, change it to 60 minutes, and add it to 9 minutes.

6:09 = 5:69

Now subtract 44 minutes from 69 minutes.

5:69 = 0:44 = 5:25
