A geyser is an underground hot spring that shoots water and steam into the air. At Yellowstone National Park there is a geyser that erupts once at every 44 to 125 minutes. If the geyser erupted one day at 1:04 pm, at which time could the geyser erupt next?
A. 1:44 pm
B. 3:29 pm
C. 3:05 pm
D. 1:25 pm
Please Help Me!! God bless you :-)
It will be 3:29
1:04 + :44 = 1:48
1:04 + :125 = 2:29
Which of your answer choices is between these two times?
That's because I added wrong. Sorry.
:124 minutes = 2:04
1:04 + 44 min = 1:48
1:04 + 1:25 min = 2:29
I am stuck. There is no answer choice is between.
125 minutes = 1:25,
so is D, 1:25 the answer?
0:44+1:04=1:48
125 minutes=2:05
Then 2:05 +1:04=3:09
the answer will be between 1:48 and 3:09 .so it will be 3:05,because it erupts once between 44to 125 no less nor more
To determine the time at which the geyser could erupt next, we need to find the next time interval within the range of 44 to 125 minutes starting from 1:04 pm.
First, let's break down the given time of 1:04 pm into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 1:04 pm can be represented as 13:04 in 24-hour format.
Next, let's add the minimum and maximum time intervals to the current time of 13:04. Adding 44 minutes gives us 13:48, and adding 125 minutes gives us 15:09.
Now, we need to convert these times back into the 12-hour format. 13:48 can be represented as 1:48 pm, and 15:09 can be represented as 3:09 pm.
Among the given answer choices, the closest time to the one calculated above is 3:05 pm, which is option C.
So, the answer is C. 3:05 pm.
I can't find an answer choice that is between 1:48 and 2:29
I'm sorry -- I can't seem to get this right.
125 minutes = 2:05
1:04 + 2:05 = 3:09
The next eruption could be at 3:05.
I apologize for messing this problem up so badly.
