Example question: There are 38 students in a baseball club. The coach needs to split them up into equal groups of 4. How many groups can be made? How many kids are left over?

The arnold family arrived at the beach at 10:30 A.M.
10:30
Add 3 hours and 3/4 minutes to that
3/4 = 75% of 60
.75 * 60 = 45
3 hours and 45 minutes
10:30 >> 3 hours more = 1:30
1:30 + 45 mins = 2:15
Answer would be: They left at 2:15
