Question

It took an ice cream 28 minutes to drive through one neighborhood. The truck stopped driving through the neighborhood at 2:05 pm When did the truck start driving through the neighborhood? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

Starting time: 1:37

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of proof to solve the problem, let us prove that the starting time above is correct;

1. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 60 - 37 = the minutes 'till 2:00, or 23 minutes

2. Knowing that the time the truck stopped driving through the neighborhood was 5 minutes past 2:00, the minute difference being 23 + 5, or 28 minutes

Proved: 28 minutes
