Question

Hank finished bowling at 8:20 pm. He bowled for 2 hours and 15 minutes. What time did he start bowling?

Answer 1

Answer:

6:05

Step-by-step explanation:

8:20 - 2:15

6:05

Answer 2

Hank finished bowling at 6:05. To figure this out it’s easiest to subtract the hours first. If he finished at 8 but started 2 hours earlier then all you have to do is subtract 2 from the prime finishing number, aka 8. So, now we know that it’s 6:00, but you can never forget about the minutes. Subtract 20 from 15 and your answer will be 5!
