It will take 3 hours and 3 minutes to hike to the camping spot and 1 hour and 26 minutes to set up the camp. What is the latest time Brenna and her family can start hiking?

Answer 1

Answer:

Latest time for start hiking = 4:57 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time of sunset = 9:26 P.M

Time taken for hiking = 3 hours and 3 minutes (03:03)

Time taken for set up = 1 hour and 26 minutes (1:26)

Find:

Latest time for start hiking

Computation:

Latest time for start hiking = Time of sunset - Time taken for set up - Time taken for hiking

Latest time for start hiking = 9:26 - 1:26 - Time taken for hiking

Latest time for start hiking = 8:00 PM - 03:03

Latest time for start hiking = 7:60 - 03:03

Latest time for start hiking = 4:57 PM
