Question

Megan is deciding when she needs to leave for school. If it typically takes her 15 minutes to walk to school, which is a reasonable estimate of the time she should leave home to get to school by 8:00?

Answer 1

About 7:45

Explanation:

7:40 OR 7:45 because sometimes the traffic light takes a while but 7:45 is best.

Answer 2

7:45 (a quarter to eight)

Explanation:

It takes Megan 15 minutes to walk from home to school, and she get to school by 8:00 am, then she needs to leave home at around 8 hours - 15 minutes = 7 hours + 60 minutes - 15 minutes = 7 hours and 45 minutes.
