Kenny wants to get to the pool 25 minutes before the pool opens. It takes him 20 minutes to drive, and 15 minutes to pack up. At what time should he start packing up if the pool opens at 5:30 p.m.?

25 + 20 + 15 = 60 minutes

He needs to start packing 60 minutes (1 hour) before 5:30.

4:30 p.m. thanks Ms. Sue

Right, Regina. You're welcome.

To determine the time Kenny should start packing up, we first need to calculate his total travel time and packing time.

Kenny wants to be at the pool 25 minutes before it opens, which means he needs to factor in this extra time into his travel time. Given that it takes him 20 minutes to drive to the pool, he should add 25 minutes to this time.

So, Kenny's total travel time is 20 minutes (driving time) + 25 minutes (extra time) = 45 minutes.

Next, we need to determine the time he should start packing up. Since it takes him 15 minutes to pack up, we subtract this time from the total travel time.

So, Kenny should start packing up 45 minutes - 15 minutes = 30 minutes before he needs to leave.

Finally, we need to determine the time he should start packing up relative to the pool's opening time. Since the pool opens at 5:30 p.m., we subtract 30 minutes from this time.

Thus, Kenny should start packing up at 5:30 p.m. - 30 minutes = 5:00 p.m.
