are you good with times? I am struggling with studying with times so
help me: The first walker to finish the 12 miles crossed the finish line 3 hours after the offical starting time of 10:00 a.m. At what time did the first walker finish?
The judges left the finish line at 5:30 p.m. They had started working 8 hours earlier. At what time did the judges start working?
Hmm -- 10 + 3 = 13
But most clocks don't have 13 o'clock. They only go up to 12. So -- it must be o'clock.
Count backwards from 5:30 to find the answer for the second problem.
For the first problem all you have to do is add 3 hours to 10:00am.(count 10:00 to 11:00 (1 hour), 11:00 to 12:00 (2 hours), etc.)
For the second problem just count backwarks 8 hours (i.e. 3 hours earlier of 5:30 would be 2:30 (5:30 to 4:30 (1 hour), 4:30 to 3:30 (2 hours), 3:30 to 2:30 (3 hours))).
Yes, I can help you with questions related to time.
To solve the first question, we need to add the time it took for the first walker to finish to the official starting time. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Convert the 3 hours into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you multiply 3 hours by 60 to get 180 minutes.
Step 2: Add the 180 minutes to the total minutes of the official starting time. The official starting time is 10:00 a.m., which is equivalent to 10 hours multiplied by 60 minutes, resulting in 600 minutes.
Step 3: Add the calculated minutes to get the final answer. 600 minutes + 180 minutes = 780 minutes.
Therefore, the first walker finished at 780 minutes after the official starting time of 10:00 a.m. To convert this back to the 12-hour clock format, divide 780 by 60 to get 13 hours.
Thus, the first walker finished at 13:00, which is 1:00 p.m.
Now let's move on to the second question:
To determine the start time of the judges, we need to subtract the working hours from the time they left the finish line. Here's how you can approach it:
Step 1: Convert the time they left, 5:30 p.m., into minutes. This is equivalent to 17 hours multiplied by 60 minutes, resulting in 1020 minutes.
Step 2: Subtract the working hours from the calculated minutes. The working hours mentioned are 8 hours, which would be 8 multiplied by 60 minutes, resulting in 480 minutes.
Step 3: Decrease the calculated minutes from the total minutes to get the start time. 1020 minutes - 480 minutes = 540 minutes.
To convert this back into the 12-hour clock format, divide 540 by 60 to get 9 hours.
Hence, the judges started working at 9:00 a.m.
