Question

A cricket match lasted for 5 hours 15 minutes in the match and it at 4:45 p.m. at what time did it start

Answer 1

The cricket match started at 11:30 AM.

To do the calculations, we need to convert the time representation to 24 hours format.

Eg. 5 : 00 PM in 24 hours format would be 17 : 00 hours.

Similarly, 4 : 45 PM in 24 hours format would be 16 : 45 hours.

So, at 16 : 45 hours, the match ended, and we need to find the startng time pf the match.

Given, the match lasted for 5 hours 15 mins = 5 : 15 hours.

So, to find the starting time of the match we subtract the duration of the match from the end time.

∴ Starting time = (16 : 45 - 5 : 15) hours = 11 : 30 hours.

So, the match started at 11:30 AM
