1) Attack of the 50ft Turnip plays at 7:10. It is
now quarter to seven. How long before the movie starts?
(2) It takes 30 minutes to drive to the movie theater. They Saved Frankenstein's Lunch begins playing at ten after 1. What is the latest you can leave home?
15 + 10 = ?
1:10 = 12:70 - 30 = 12:40
I donk know
To answer these questions, we need to understand how to calculate the time difference and add/subtract the given time intervals.
(1) To determine how long before the movie starts, we need to find the difference between the current time (quarter to seven) and the movie start time (7:10).
Step 1: Convert the current time to minutes.
Quarter to seven means 15 minutes before 7:00.
7:00 = 7 * 60 = 420 minutes
So the current time is 420 - 15 = 405 minutes.
Step 2: Convert the movie start time to minutes.
7:10 = 7 * 60 + 10 = 430 minutes.
Step 3: Calculate the time difference.
430 - 405 = 25 minutes.
Therefore, the movie will start in 25 minutes.
(2) To determine the latest time you can leave home, we need to calculate the time needed to drive to the theater and subtract it from the movie start time.
Step 1: Convert the movie start time to minutes.
10 after 1 = 1 * 60 + 10 = 70 minutes.
Step 2: Subtract the driving time from the movie start time.
70 - 30 = 40 minutes.
Therefore, the latest you can leave home is 40 minutes before 1:10 PM, which would be 12:30 PM.
