Question

brian arrived at work at 6:28 pm.he started driving to work at 5:35pm. how long did it take him to get to work ?

Answer 1

The amount of time that elapsed between 5:35 and 6:28 is 53 minutes.

5:35 to 6:00 is 25 minutes and

6:00 to 6:28 is 28 minutes,

so 25 + 28 = 53.

It took Brian 53 minutes to get to work.

Another way to solve this is

5:35 to 6:35 is 60 minutes

but 28 is before 35, so

6:28 to 6:35 is 7 minutes

subtract the seven minutes

60 - 7 = 53 minutes
