Answer:
<em>Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
From noon and 5:00 P.M. there are 5 hours.
Gerry, Dale, and Pat arrived at the bus stop within that interval, which means the sum of the times elapsed between their arrival times must be 5.
4 out of the 5 hours elapsed since Gerry and Dale's arrivals. This means there is only one hour left for twice x.
If twice x is one hour, then x is half an hour. Thus, the complete sequence of arrivals is:
Gerry arrived at the bus station at 12:30 P.M.
Dale arrived at the bus station at 4:30 P.M.
Pat arrived at the bus station at 5:00 P.M.
