Question

On weeks days, Aaron gets home from school at 4:30 p.M., and his bedtime is at 9:00 p.M. If he spends 90 minutes playing football, 35 minutes eating dinner, and 1 hour and 45 minutes doing homework, how much time after school will Aaron have left to play video games?

Answer 1

40 minutes

Explanation:

Time at which Aaron gets home from school = 4:30 PM

Bedtime for Aaron = 9:00 PM

Total available for Aaron = 9:00 - 4:30 = 4 hr 30 minutes

To convert minutes to hours, we need to divide by 60.

Time spent in playing football = 90 minutes =
`(90)/(60) = 1\ hr\ 30\ minutes`

Time spent eating dinner = 35 minutes

Time spent in doing homework = 1 hr 45 minutes

Total time spent = 1 hr 30 minutes + 35 minutes + 1 hr 45 minutes = 2 hr 110 minutes = 3 hr 50 minutes

Time left for Aaron to play video games = 4 hr 30 minutes - 3 hr 50 minutes = 40 minutes
