Sagot :

Answer:

The movie started in 4:35 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

the easy way to do this

Step one: subtract 2 hours from 7:15 pm which is 5:15 pm

step two: to subtract 30 min from 5:15 which is 4:45 pm

Answer:

i got 4:35pm too

Step-by-step explanation:

my workings might be more complicated and long but mb it can help others since there is more workings to refer to :)

first,

Hr Mins

subtract 7 15 (end time)

- 2 40 (duration)

--------------

ans = 4 35

now, if u wonder how i got 35 mins.

since 1Hr=60Min,

u can borrow 1 from the 7Hr(which is in Hr) to subtract the minutes.

then, we know tht 1Hr=60Min, therefore u need to add 60mins+15mins=75mins

meaning ur working should look like this now:

Hr Min

6 75 (60mins+15mins)

- 2 40 (same duration)

-----------------

now u = 4 35pm (final answer)

can -----------------

normally

subtract

it :D

and if some of u not sure y it is still in pm,

7:15pm is in the evening and 4:35 is around late noon, so meaning it is still pm. {anyway, it is logic too. hv u ever seen any theater tht plays a movie from 4:35am in the morning until 7:15pm in the evening? idts, heh}
