Question

The debate team is showing a video of their recent debate. The first showing begins at 3:15 p.m. The second showing is scheduled at 4:50 p.m. with a 1/2 hour break between the showings. The second showing started 20 minutes late. Will the second showing be over by 6:30 p.m.? Explain why your answer is reasonable.

Answer 1

No OK let's see how long Is the debate, the second debate started 20 late then it started at 5:10 so to know the length of the debate we should subtract the 2 shows so 5:10-3:15 = 1:55 minutes we also should subtract 30 m because of the break so 1:55-30 = 1:25 minutes so the show length is 1:25 minutes so to know when the 2nd show will end we should add 5:10+1:25 = 6:35 p.m
