Question

Tim needs to be at work at 8:00 A.M. It takes him 30 minutes to get ready in the morningand 15 minutes to drive to work. What is the latest time Tim can get up in the morningwithout being late for work?

Answer 1

The given information is:

- Tim needs to be at work at 8:00 A.M.

- He needs 30 minutes to get ready in the morning

- It takes him 15 minutes to drive to the work

The total time Tim needs to get ready and drive to work is:

`30min+15min=45min`

So, he needs at least 45 minutes to be on time at work. So, the latest time Tim can get up in the morning is 45 minutes earlier than 8:00 A.M., and it is equal to:

`\begin{gathered} 8:00\text{ is equal to 7 hours and 60 min, so:} \\ 60min-45min=15min \\ \\ The\text{ latest time is: }7:15A.M. \end{gathered}`

The answer is 7:15 A.M.
