The third-grade class went on a field trip to the American History Museum.
The first clock shows the time the students left in the morning.
The second clock shows the time they returned in the afternoon.
A clock is showing the hour hand at 10 and minute hand at 12.
A clock is showing the hour hand at 3 and the minute hand at 12.
How long were they gone on the field trip?
A.
3 hours
B.
4 hours
C.
5 hours
D.
6 hours
To find out how long they were gone on the field trip, we need to calculate the difference between the two times shown on the clocks.
The first clock shows the hour hand at 10 and the minute hand at 12, which means it is 10:00. The second clock shows the hour hand at 3 and the minute hand at 12, which means it is 3:00.
To find the difference between these two times, we subtract 10:00 from 3:00, which gives us 5 hours.
Therefore, the answer is C. 5 hours.
To determine how long the third-grade class was gone on the field trip, we need to find the time difference between when they left in the morning and when they returned in the afternoon.
From the first clock, we can see that the hour hand is at 10 and the minute hand is at 12. This means it is 10 o'clock.
From the second clock, we can see that the hour hand is at 3 and the minute hand is at 12. This means it is 3 o'clock.
To calculate the time difference, we subtract the starting time (10 o'clock) from the ending time (3 o'clock):
3 o'clock - 10 o'clock = 5 hours
Therefore, the third-grade class was gone on the field trip for 5 hours.
The answer is C. 5 hours.
