Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 p.m (6: 04 p.m.)
Explanation:
To solve this question, the first step is to calculate how much time does hiking to the lake, go fishing, and go back takes in total. This can be calculated by adding the time of the three activities. This means 1 hour 10 minutes + 3 hours 10 minutes + 1 hour 50 minutes which is equal to 6 hours 10 minutes. The detailed process is shown below.
Add the hours: 1 + 3 + 1 = 5
Add the minutes: 10+50 +10 = 70
Also, because the total of minutes is above 60 (each hour has 60 minutes) it is necessary to subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour.
5 hours + 1 hour and 70 minutes - 60 minutes = 6 hours and 10 minutes
Now, to solve the question subtract the time of the activities to the time Lila needs to complete all the activities.
6: 05 p.m. - 6 hours and 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m
You can get this result by substracting first the hours and then the minutes
6: 05 p.m. - 6 hours = 12: 05 p.m.
12: 05 - 10 minutes = 11: 55 a.m.
According to this, Lila will need to start the hike at 11: 55 a.m. to be back at exactly 6: 05 p.m. or at 11: 54 a.m. to be before 6: 05 a.m because if she starts at 11: 54 a.m. she will be back at 6:04, which is a minute before 6:05 p.m.
