Question

Sophie ate dinner. She started eating at 5:50 pm and finished at 6:18 pm. How long did Sophie eat dinner?

Answer 1

To find out how long Sophie ate dinner, we can subtract the start time from the end time.

Start time: 5:50 PM
End time: 6:18 PM

First, let's break it down:

- From 5:50 PM to 6:00 PM is 10 minutes.
- From 6:00 PM to 6:18 PM is 18 minutes.

Now we can add those two intervals together:

10 minutes + 18 minutes = 28 minutes.

So, Sophie ate dinner for **28 minutes**.
