Kyle got in his car and started driving toward his grandmother's house. After driving for 1 hour and 47 minutes, Kyle took a break for 31 minutes to have a snack. Then Kyle drove 43 minutes and finally arrived at his grandmother's house at 4:12 P.M. What time did Kyle start driving?
1:47 + 0:31 + 0:43 = 1:121 = 3:01
4:12 - 3:01 = ?
To find out what time Kyle started driving, we can work backwards from the time he arrived at his grandmother's house.
Kyle arrived at his grandmother's house at 4:12 P.M. and drove for a total of 1 hour and 47 minutes + 31 minutes + 43 minutes.
To convert the time to a consistent format, we can convert everything to minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
1 hour and 47 minutes is equal to 60 minutes + 47 minutes = 107 minutes.
Kyle drove for a total of 107 minutes + 31 minutes + 43 minutes = 181 minutes.
We know that Kyle started driving 181 minutes before he arrived at his grandmother's house.
To find out what time Kyle started driving, we subtract 181 minutes from the time he arrived at his grandmother's house.
4:12 P.M minus 181 minutes equals 1:11 P.M.
Therefore, Kyle started driving at 1:11 P.M.
