Question

Paul spent 2 hours and 45 minutes working on homework. If he started at 5:20, what time was it when he finished?

Answer 1

`8:05`

Explanation:

method 1

2 hrs 45mins is 15 mins short of 3 hours

so 5:20+3hrs -15 mins

8:20-15mins=8:05pm( presumably)

method 2

2hrs45mins + 5:20=7:65

60 mins =1 hr, subtract 60 mins from the mins column & and add 1 hr to the hr column.

8:05.
