To find out when Elliot began studying, we need to subtract the total time he spent on social studies and math homework from the time he finished studying.
First, let's convert the time Elliot spent on social studies and math homework into hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 30 minutes is equal to 30/60 = 0.5 hours, and 45 minutes is equal to 45/60 = 0.75 hours.
Next, we subtract the total time spent on social studies and math homework from the time Elliot finished studying:
4:45 p.m. - (0.5 hours + 0.75 hours)
To subtract hours, we need to convert the time to a 24-hour format. So, 4:45 p.m. is equal to 16:45 in the 24-hour format.
16:45 - (0.5 + 0.75) = 16:45 - 1.25
Next, we subtract the minutes:
45 - 25 = 20
Therefore, Elliot began studying at 3:20 p.m. in the afternoon.
