Suppose you want to finish running errands by 4:00 pm. Shopping will take 20 minutes. Eating will take 25 minutes. You will meet with a friend for 15 minutes. And your travel time will be a total of 20 minutes. When should you START your errands?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2:50 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of time it takes to complete your errands, we first have to find the time it takes to complete them.

20+25+15+10=45+25=70

So, it will take 70 minutes, or 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete your errands.

We need to find what time 1 hour and 10 minutes before 4:00 is. So, one hour before 4:00 is 3:00. Then, 10 minutes before 3:00 pm is 2:50. Therefore, you have to start your errands at 2:50 pm.
