Question

Alex is feeling stressed this morning. He did not get enough sleep because a dog barked most of the night. The dog barked from 11;41p.m. until 12:09 a.m.Then it started barking again at 3:35 a.m. and didn’t stop until 4:10 a.m.How long did the dog bark in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

Poor Alex, I know how they feel, I got a dog myself.

The amount of time between

11:41 pm to 12:09 am is

19 minutes (to 12 am, 60 minutes to next hour) + 9

which is 28 minutes for the first dog barking session

the second time is 35 minutes,

using same method as before.

adding the two separte barking sessions we get

35+28= 63 minutes

which is equivelant to 1 hour and 3 minutes.

In conclusion the dog barks for 1 hour and 3 minutes in total.
