Question

I start a walk at 2.47pm. The walk takes 85 minutes. What time does the walk finish?

Answer 1

Answer:

4:12pm

Step-by-step explanation:

85 minutes = 1 hour and 25 minutes

2:47pm  + 1 hour 25 minutes = 3:72 pm

72 minutes = 1 hour 12 minutes so add another 1 hour to 3 and the balance is 12 minutes so walk ends at 4:12pm

Another way to look at it is as follows:
After 13 minutes, the time is 2:47 + 0:13 = 3pm

Remaining time left is 85-13 = 72 minutes = 1 hour: 12 minutes. Add that to 3pm and you get 4:12pm
