A seminar starts at 13:20 and lasts 3 hours 50 minutes. At what time does it finish?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 17:10
- Step 1: Add the hours: 13:20 + 3 h = 16:20.
- Step 2: Add the minutes: 16:20 + 50 min = 17:10.
Answer
17:10.
Why not the others: 18:10: an hour is added by mistake. 19:10: it treats an hour as 100 minutes.
