bearing in mind that the an hour has 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 60 minutes, so 15 minutes in 1/4 of an hour, thus 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour.
now, from 11PM, if we add the 5 hours first, we'll be at 4AM, pass midnight of course.
now let's add the minutes, 32 and then 45, that gives us 77 minutes.
so the time will be 4AM plus 77 minutes, since 60 minutes is 1 hr, so 4AM plus 1 hr and 17 minutes, that'd be 5:17AM.
You have to change the denominator of 6/10 into 100 then you will get 60/100 then you add 15/10+60/100
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
Megan is correct. -12 + 4 is -8 and the opposite of that is 8
