Q. Mark's doctor appointment was 35 minutes after Tyson 's appointment, Tyson appointment was 20 minutes after Timothy's appointment. Timothy arrived 8 minutes before his appointment but 17 minutes after Raul's appointment which started at 9:30 am. At what time did Mark's appointment start?
A. Did Mark's appointment start at 10:30? I don't know exactly
Raul's appointment started at 9:30 AM according to the problem:
Raul - 9:30 AM
After 17 minutes, Timothy arrived. That is, at 9:47 AM. But it was said that this time is 8 minutes BEFORE his actual appointment. Therefore, we add 8 minutes to it:
Timothy - 9:55 AM
Tyson's appointment is 20 minutes after Timothy's:
Tyson - 10:15 AM
Mark's appointment is 35 minutes after Tyson's:
Mark - 10:50 AM
hope this helps~ `u`
12:00?
THANKS!
To find out the starting time of Mark's appointment, we need to follow the given information and work backward.
We know that Raul's appointment started at 9:30 am. Timothy arrived 17 minutes after Raul's appointment, which means Timothy's appointment started 17 minutes later than 9:30 am.
To find out Timothy's appointment's starting time, we can add 17 minutes to 9:30 am:
9:30 am + 17 minutes = 9:47 am
Now, we know that Tyson's appointment was 20 minutes after Timothy's appointment. So, to find Tyson's starting time, we can add 20 minutes to Timothy's appointment starting time:
9:47 am + 20 minutes = 10:07 am
Finally, Mark's appointment was 35 minutes after Tyson's appointment. Adding 35 minutes to Tyson's appointment starting time will give us Mark's appointment starting time:
10:07 am + 35 minutes = 10:42 am
Therefore, Mark's appointment started at 10:42 am.
