Question

Marie is going to make a cake for her mother's birthday. It will take 38 minutes to make the cake batter, and the cake needs to bake in the oven for 46 minutes. If Marie wants the cake to be out of the oven by 2:41 P.M., what is the latest time she can start making the cake batter?

Answer 1

38+46=84 in hours that’s 1 hour and 14 minutes so it’s 1:27

Answer 2

She should start making the batter at 1:17 p.m.

Explanation:

The cake will take 46 minutes to bake. Subtract that time from 2:41 p.m to get 1:55 p.m. Subtract 38 minutes from that to get 1:17p.m. That is the answer I got. Good luck :)
