Question

Delia worked for 45 minutes on her oil painting. She took a break at 10:35 A.M. At what time did Delia start working on the painting?

Answer 1

Delia started working at 9:50 A.M.

Explanation:

We are given that:

Delia worked for 45 minutes on her oil painting.

She took a break at 10:35 A.M.

We have to determine at what time Delia start working on the painting.

35 minutes before 10:35 A.M. is 10 A.M.

Now, 45-35=10 minutes are left

now 10 minutes before 10 A.M. is 9:50 A.M.

Hence, Delia started working at 9:50 A.M.
