Algebra Difficulty 1.1 Junior Find the answer Canada

A class begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 9:05 a.m. on the same day. In minutes, what is the length of the class?

Pick one

Solution

There are 30 minutes between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

There are 5 minutes between 9:00 a.m. and 9:05 a.m.

Therefore, the length of the class is 30+5=3530+5=35 minutes.
