Lee works in a garage. He has these jobs to do on Tuesday:

- Service: 1.5 hours
- Oil change: [tex][tex]$\frac{3}{4}$[/tex][/tex] hour
- Replace headlight: 20 minutes

Lee will start the first job on the list at 9 am. He will have a break of half an hour after the first two jobs.

Lee thinks he will finish the last job before 1 pm.

Will Lee finish the last job before 1 pm?

Sagot :

To determine if Lee finishes the last job before 1 pm, we need to calculate the start and end times of each job, including the break time.

1. Starting Time:
- Lee starts his first job at 9 am.

2. Service Time:
- The service takes [tex]\(1.5\)[/tex] hours. To convert this to minutes:
[tex]\[ 1.5 \, \text{hours} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour} = 90 \, \text{minutes} \][/tex]
- The service ends at:
[tex]\[ 9 \, \text{am} + 90 \, \text{minutes} = 10:30 \, \text{am} \][/tex]

3. Oil Change:
- The oil change takes [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] of an hour. To convert this to minutes:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{4} \, \text{hours} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour} = 45 \, \text{minutes} \][/tex]
- The oil change ends at:
[tex]\[ 10:30 \, \text{am} + 45 \, \text{minutes} = 11:15 \, \text{am} \][/tex]

4. Break Time:
- Lee takes a break of 30 minutes. The break ends at:
[tex]\[ 11:15 \, \text{am} + 30 \, \text{minutes} = 11:45 \, \text{am} \][/tex]

5. Replace Headlight:
- Replacing the headlight takes 20 minutes. The headlight replacement ends at:
[tex]\[ 11:45 \, \text{am} + 20 \, \text{minutes} = 12:05 \, \text{pm} \][/tex]

6. Checking Against 1 pm:
- To confirm if 12:05 pm is before 1 pm, convert 1 pm to minutes from the start of the day.
[tex]\[ 1 \, \text{pm} = 13 \, \text{hours} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour} = 780 \, \text{minutes from 12 am} \][/tex]
- 12:05 pm in minutes from the start of the day is:
[tex]\[ 12 \, \text{hours} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour} + 5 \, \text{minutes} = 725 \, \text{minutes from 12 am} \][/tex]

Since 725 minutes (12:05 pm) is indeed before 780 minutes (1 pm), Lee will finish the last job before 1 pm. Hence, the answer is True.
