On a hot summer day, Gavin and his friends decided to play with water. They played with water balloons for 1 hour and 26 minutes. When all the water balloons were gone, they played with the water hose for 18 minutes. They finished playing at 1:33 P.M. when Gavin's dad showed up with ice cream. What time did they start playing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

11:49 A.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem backwards we see playtime ended at 1:33 P.M., we know that the kids played with water balloons for 1 hour and 26 minutes and they played with the hose for another 18 minutes. This means the kids played for a total of 1 hour and 44 minutes. To find out the time they started we will subtract 1 hour and 44 minutes from 1:33 P.M.

Taking away exactly 1 hour and 33 minutes from 1:33 P.M. leaves us at noon or 12 P.M. while we remain will eleven minutes. Subtracting eleven minutes from noon results in 11:49 A.M.

Answer:

11:49 am

Step-by-step explanation:

you add the minutes together which is 44 min , then you subtract the hour.
