Answer 1

The duration of the film was 4.65 hours

Answer 2

Given : Film started at 2:35 p.m. and ended at 6:10 p.m.

To find : The duration of the film.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to o calculate the duration of the film)

Now, we know that :

2:35 p.m. + 1 hour = 3:35 p.m.

2:35 p.m. + 1 hour + 1 hour = 4:35 p.m.

2:35 p.m. + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour = 5:35 p.m.

or,

2:35 p.m. + 3 hours = 5:35 p.m.

Now,

5:35 p.m. + 25 minutes = 6:00 p.m.

5:35 p.m. + 25 minutes + 10 minutes = 6:10 p.m.

or,

5:35 p.m. + 35 minutes = 6:10 p.m.

Which implies,

2:35 p.m. + 3 hours + 35 minutes = 6:10 p.m.

(As, 5:35 p.m. = 2:35 p.m. + 3 hours)

i.e.

Starting time of the film + 3 hours + 35 minutes = Ending time of the film

So,

Duration of the film = 3 hours 35 minutes

(this will be considered as the final result)

Hence, the duration of the film was 3 hours 35 minutes.
