Question

delia spent 45 minutes working on her book report she finished at 6:10 p.m. at what time did delia start working on her paper

Answer 1

Delia started working on her paper at 5:25 p.m.

6:10 - 10 = 6:00

6:00 - 35 =5:25

Answer 2

When she finished the work, the time was 6:10 p.m. In other words, 6 hours and 10 minutes.

It says that she took 45 minutes to complete the work.

We need to find the time when she started working on it.

Start Time = Finish Time - time taken to complete work.

Start Time = (6 hours and 10 minutes) - 45 minutes

(Hint:- 1 hour = 60 minutes)

Start Time = (5 hours and 70 minutes) - 45 minutes

Start Time = 5 hours and 25 minutes i.e. 5:25 p.m.

It means that she started the work at 5:25 p.m.
