half past 5 is half past 5
Alex starts eating at 5:00 and one half hour passes. To determine the time he stops eating, we need to add the elapsed time to the starting time.
5:00 + half an hour = 5:30
Therefore, Alex stops eating at half past 5:00.
So the correct answer is B. half past 5:00.
To determine what time Alex stops eating, we need to add one half hour to the starting time of 5:00.
To add one half hour to a time, we need to understand that half an hour is equal to 30 minutes.
So, we add 30 minutes to 5:00.
5:00 + 30 minutes = 5:30
Therefore, Alex stops eating at half past 5:00.
The correct answer is B. half past 5:00.
