If I started painting it at 1:52 and finally finished 1 hour and 37 minutes later. What time was it when I finished painting the new fence?

Answer 1

1:52 is 8 minutes until 2 o'clock

add another 1 hour and 29 minutes to get 3:29 as the finish time

probably 3:31 pm, as you likely aren't working at night, unless you're in a major heat and it is cooler to work at night. some construction in Arizona or similar hot places do their work in early morning hours before the sun comes out.

1 hour 37 minutes minus 8 minutes = 1 hour and 29 minutes
