We use the formula d = rt where d = distance, r = rate, t = time
Equation for Sam:
Equation for Sam's father:
d = (12)(t - 0.33)
d = 12t - 4
Since Sam and his father have the same distance from their home to Sam's school, then
2t = 12t - 4
4 = 12t - 2t
4 = 10t
4/10 = t
t = 0.4 hrs or 24 mins
Sam travel 24 mins from home to school and his father travel 4 mins from home to school. Therefore, it was about 8:24 when Sam's father give the project to Sam.
