Ann began her homework at 3:55 P.M. She spent 15 minutes on her first assignment, and 40 minutes on her second assignment. At what time was she finished with both assignments?
To find out at what time Ann finished with both assignments, we need to add up the time she spent on each assignment.
First, let's calculate the total time she spent on both assignments. Ann spent 15 minutes on her first assignment and 40 minutes on her second assignment:
15 minutes + 40 minutes = 55 minutes
Now, we need to add these 55 minutes to the starting time of 3:55 P.M. to determine the finish time.
To do this, we can convert the given time into 24-hour format, where 3:55 P.M. becomes 15:55.
Now, let's add the 55 minutes to the starting time:
15:55 + 55 minutes = 16:50
So Ann finished both assignments at 4:50 P.M.
15 + 40 = ?
Add that to 3:55. What time do you get?
