Question

Wasim school started at a quarter past twelve in the afternoon and finished at half past five in the evening if the break was for half and hour how much time did the children spend in the classroom

Answer 1

The children spend 4 h 45 mins in the classroom

Step-by-step explanation:

Wasim’s school starts at 12.15 pm. The school day gets over at 5.30 pm.

For calculating the amount of time the children spend in school:

Determine the time between 12 pm and 5.30 pm, i.e., 5 h 30 mins.

Subtract 15 mins to since school starts 15 mins after 12 pm

Thus, the children spend 5 h 15 mins in school.

However, the break is 30 mins, which the children would spend in the play ground.

So subtract 30 mins from the 5 h 15 mins

Thus, they spend 4 h 45 mins in the classrooms
