Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by John to drive from town A to town B = 2 hours 35 minutes

(Now we need to convert the units to minute)

Therefore,

We know that 1hour = 60 minutes,

So, 2 hours 35 minutes

=2*60minutes+35minutes

=120minutes+35minutes

=155minutes

(Now the question says that Jason started driving the same time when John started but he arrived 43 minutes later)

Time taken by Jason to reach Town B = 155minutes+43minutes

=198minutes

(Since we have the answer in minutes we need to convert it to hours and minutes)

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, 1 minute = 1/60hour

= 198/60hours

=66/20hours

=33/10hours

=3.3hours

(Since we got the answer as 3.3 hours,3.3 denotes hours as well as minutes,The number before the point is hour and the number after the point is in minute)

Therefore, Jason took 3hours and 3minutes to drive from town A to town B.
