Vivian is going to do some yard work, but she needs to leave her house at 2:00 to go to a football game. She is going to mow the lawn for 1 hour and 15 minutes, trim some bushes for 40 minutes, and put down some mulch for 25 minutes. She will also need 30 minutes to shower and get dressed. What time should she start the work so that she will be ready at 2:00?
it near 10 or 11
its like 2 hours and 5 minutes before
but i don't know the time
1 hour, 15 minutes
+ 40 minutes
+ 25 minutes
+ 30 minutes
1 hour and 110 minutes = 2 hours and 50 minutes
2 - 2 hours = 12 noon
12 - 50 minutes = 11:10
thanks ms.sue
You are welcome.
you were correct
To determine what time Vivian should start her yard work, we need to add up the total amount of time it will take her to complete each task and then subtract that from 2:00 PM.
1. She will mow the lawn for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Convert this time to minutes:
1 hour = 60 minutes
So, 1 hour and 15 minutes = 60 minutes + 15 minutes = 75 minutes
2. She will trim some bushes for 40 minutes.
3. She will put down some mulch for 25 minutes.
4. She will need 30 minutes to shower and get dressed.
Now, let's add up the total time:
75 minutes (mowing) + 40 minutes (trimming bushes) + 25 minutes (putting down mulch) + 30 minutes (shower and get dressed) = 170 minutes
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, divide 170 by 60 to convert it to hours and minutes:
170 minutes / 60 = 2 hours and 50 minutes
Now, subtract the total time from 2:00 PM:
2:00 PM - 2 hours and 50 minutes = 11:10 AM
Therefore, Vivian should start her yard work at 11:10 AM in order to be ready by 2:00 PM.
