You plan to volunteer for 4 hours at the community center. It will take you 40 to walk to the community center but you will have a ride after your done so it will take you 10 minutes to get home. If you must be home by 6:30 pm when should you initially your house to go volunteer at the community center
To calculate the time you need to initially leave your house, you first need to determine the total time it will take for you to volunteer at the community center and return home.
It will take you 4 hours to volunteer at the community center. Adding the 40 minutes it takes to walk there and the 10 minutes it takes to get home, the total time spent will be 4 hours and 50 minutes (4 hours + 40 minutes + 10 minutes = 4 hours 50 minutes).
Since you must be back at 6:30 pm, you need to subtract the total time spent (4 hours 50 minutes) from the time you must be home (6:30 pm).
6:30 pm - 4 hours 50 minutes = 1:40 pm
Therefore, you should initially leave your house at 1:40 pm to volunteer at the community center so that you can be back by 6:30 pm.
To figure out when you should initially leave your house to volunteer at the community center, we'll need to calculate the total time it will take including the walk to the center and the ride back home.
1. Subtract the time it takes to walk to the community center from the total time you have available: 6:30 pm - 4 hours = 2:30 pm.
2. Subtract the time it takes to get a ride back home from the previous result: 2:30 pm - 10 minutes = 2:20 pm.
3. Add the time it takes to walk to the community center to the result: 2:20 pm + 40 minutes = 3:00 pm.
Therefore, you should initially leave your house at 3:00 pm to volunteer at the community center if you must be home by 6:30 pm.
To determine when you should initially leave your house to go volunteer at the community center, we need to consider the time it takes to walk to the center, the time you plan to volunteer for, and the time it takes to get home.
First, let's calculate the total time it will take for you to volunteer at the community center, including the walking time:
Walking time to the community center: 40 minutes
Volunteering time: 4 hours (which is equivalent to 240 minutes)
Total time spent at the community center: 240 minutes + 40 minutes = 280 minutes
Next, we need to consider the time it takes for you to get home:
Time to get home: 10 minutes
Now let's calculate the total time needed, including getting home:
Total time needed: Time spent at the community center + Time to get home = 280 minutes + 10 minutes = 290 minutes
To ensure you are home by 6:30 pm, subtract the total time needed from your desired arrival time:
Desired arrival time - Total time needed = 6:30 pm - 290 minutes
Since you need the time in the same units, let's convert 6:30 pm into minutes:
6:30 pm = 6 hours × 60 minutes/hour + 30 minutes = 390 minutes
So, we have:
Desired arrival time - Total time needed = 390 minutes - 290 minutes = 100 minutes
Now, add the 100 minutes to the current time to determine when you should initially leave your house:
Current time + Desired time in minutes = Initial departure time
Please provide the current time and I can calculate the initial departure time for you.
