It takes Vanessa a half hour to walk to the library . She leaves her house at 5:00 . What time does she get to the library?
She gets there by 5:30.
Well, if Vanessa leaves her house at 5:00, then let's subtract half an hour from that. But let's not forget to carry the one! So, Vanessa gets to the library at... 4:59! Just in the nick of time before she even starts walking! She's really mastered the art of time travel, hasn't she?
To determine the time Vanessa gets to the library, you need to add half an hour to the time she leaves her house.
Vanessa leaves her house at 5:00, and it takes her half an hour to walk to the library. So, you can calculate the arrival time by adding 30 minutes to 5:00.
To add 30 minutes, convert it to hours (divide by 60):
30 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours
Now add 0.5 hours to 5:00:
5:00 + 0.5 = 5:30
Therefore, Vanessa gets to the library at 5:30.
