Algebra Difficulty 1.2 Junior Find the answer Canada

Jurgen is travelling to Waterloo by bus. He packs for 25 minutes.
He then walks to the bus station, which takes 35 minutes. He arrives 60
minutes before his bus leaves. His bus leaves at 6:45 p.m. At what time
did he start packing?

Pick one

Solution

Jurgen takes $25 + 35 = 60$
minutes to pack and then walk to the bus station.

Since Jurgen arrives 60 minutes before the bus leaves, he began packing
$60 + 60 = 120$ minutes, or 2 hours,
before the bus leaves.

Since the bus leaves at 6:45 p.m., Jurgen began packing at 4:45 p.m.
