Question

Starting time 7:43 elapsed time 36 min

Answer 1

7:43 plus 36 minutes

STEP 1:
Add the minutes together (not hours)

=43 + 36
=79 minutes


STEP 2:
1 hour= 60 minutes

since there are only 60 minutes in an hour, add one hour to 7 above and subtract 60 from step 1 to find remaining minutes

=79 - 60
=19 minutes


STEP 3:
add another hour to 7 since we have an extra 60 minutes

=(7 hours +1 hour) + 19 minutes
=8:19


ANSWER: 8:19 is the new time

Hope this helps! :)
