Question

Frank and his sister started watching an action movie at 12:57 P.M. The movie was 2 hours and 9 minutes long. After the movie, they played soccer in the backyard for 2 hours and 41 minutes. What time was it when Frank and his sister finished playing soccer?

Answer 1

To determine what time it was when Frank and his sister finished playing soccer, we first need to calculate the end time of the movie.

1. **Calculate the end time of the movie:**
- Start time: 12:57 PM
- Duration of the movie: 2 hours and 9 minutes

Adding the hours first:
- 12:57 PM + 2 hours = 2:57 PM

Now, add the minutes:
- 2:57 PM + 9 minutes = 3:06 PM

So, the movie ended at **3:06 PM**.

2. **Calculate the end time of the soccer game:**
- Duration of soccer: 2 hours and 41 minutes
- Start time (after the movie): 3:06 PM

Adding the hours first:
- 3:06 PM + 2 hours = 5:06 PM

Now, add the minutes:
- 5:06 PM + 41 minutes = 5:47 PM

Therefore, Frank and his sister finished playing soccer at **5:47 PM**.
