There are no 858585 minutes between 3:27 PM and 5:45 PM when Payton's family eats dinner, as this would mean that Payton goes on over 596 day bike ride, which is unrealistic.
The question would be realistic, if it was:
Payton leaves to go on an 85 minute bike ride at 3:27 PM.
Payton's family eats dinner at 5:45 PM. How much time will Payton have between finishing her bike ride and eating dinner?
Answer:
Payton has 53 minutes between finishing her bike ride and eating dinner
Step-by-step explanation:
- Payton rides for 85 minutes.
If she starts by 3:27 PM, she would finish by 4:52 PM.
- Dinner is by 5:45 PM.
We are required to find how much time is between 4:52 PM and 5:45 PM.
Subtract:
.........H...............M
.........05............45
.........04............52
.................................
.........00............53
Payton has 53 minutes
