Question

Sue is touring San Francisco with her family. They want to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Chinatown before their dinner reservations at 7:30 P.M. They want to spend 45 minutes at the Golden Gate Bridge, 2 hours and 30 minutes on the tour of Alcatraz, and 1 hour and 15 minutes in Chinatown. What is the latest time Sue's family can start their tour of San Francisco and still make it to dinner on time?
please help n explain ily

Answer 1

Answer:

3pm

Step-by-step explanation:

so for this you want to work backwards, starting at 7:30pm because that's when they have dinner.

how i would solve this is I would add up all the amount of time they want to tour around San francisco

so 45 + 1hr15mins = 2hrs

2hrs +2hrs30mins= 4hrs30mins

so starting at 7:30 take away 4hrs 30mins

7:30 - 4hrs = 3:30pm

3:30 - 30 minutes = 3pm

They must start their tour at 3pm.

hope that helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The latest time Sue's family can start their tour but still make it home for dinner would be:
3:00 p.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at 7:30pm because that's when they have dinner:
45min. + 1hr & 15mins = 2hours

2hours + 2hours & 30mins= 4hours & 30mins

Starting at 7:30 take away 4hrs 30mins:

7:30p.m - 4hrs = 3:30p.m

3:30 - 30 minutes = 3:00p.m

In conclusion, they must start their tour at 3:00 p.m to be able to reach dinner by 7:30 p.m (which is the latest time).
