Answer 1

Ok. First, Kym went to bed at 8:30. There are only 60 minutes in an hour. 10 minutes to make her bed. 8:30 - 10 = 8:20. She had a 25 minute bath "jeez that's long" 8:20 - 25 = 7:55. Kym spent 15 minutes folding clothes: 7:55 - 15 = 7:40. She began to start folding clothes at 7:40.

Answer: B. 7:40 p.m.
Or you could do it the easy way.
15 + 25 + 10 = 50

50 - 8:30 = 7:40
