Sagot :

Answer:

1:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Couple of ways to solve this. Here is one method
Convert all times to minutes and find the total number of minutes they spent on all 3 activities. Then convert to hours and minutes and subtract from the end time of 5;28 to get the start time of all activities which is also the start time of watching the movie (first activity)

So time spent:

Movie: 2 hours 18 minutes = 2 * 60 + 18 = 120 + 18 = 138 minutes
Card game: 34 minutes
Soccer: 1 hour 12 minutes = 1 * 60 + 12 = 72 minutes

Total time spent = 138 + 34 + 72 = 244 minutes = 4 hours and 04 minutes

Subtract 4:04 from 5:28 to get 1:24pm

Check
Movie watch starts at 4:04, ends at 1:24 + 2:18 or 3:42pm
Card game starts at 3:42pm ends at 3:42+0:34 ==> 4:16pm
Soccer starts at 4:16pm ends at 4:16pm + 1:12 ==> 5;28pm
