Question

Ruth got to the library at 1030 am.

She stayed at the library for 50 minutes.
Then she walked home.
Ruth took 1 1/4 hours to walk home.
(b) At what time did Ruth get home?

Answer 1

She got home at 12:35 P.M.

Explanation:

She got to the library at 10:30 am.

She spent 50 minutes there

10:30 + 50 mins can be seperated to 30 mins and 20 mins

So, 30 mins goes to 11 and 20 mins more equals 11:20.

She took 1 1/4 hours to get home

1 hour more means 12:20, and since 1/4 of an hour is 15 mins,

12:20 + 15 = 12:35 P.M

hope this helped!
