A game of football consists of a total playing time of 90 minutes and a break of 15 minutes at half time.

A football match begins at 3:25 PM. At what time will the match end?

1 answer

The match consists of 90 minutes of playing time and a 15-minute half-time break, so the total time for the match is 90 + 15 = 105 minutes.
If the match begins at 3:25 PM, then adding 105 minutes to this time will give us the end time.
To add 105 minutes to 3:25 PM, first convert the hours to minutes by multiplying 3 by 60, which gives us 3 * 60 = 180 minutes.
Then add the minutes: 180 + 25 = 205 minutes.
Finally, add the 105 minutes of the match duration to get the ending time: 205 + 105 = 310 minutes.
Now convert the 310 minutes back into hours and minutes: 310 / 60 = 5 hours (remainder 10 minutes).
Therefore, the match will end at 3:25 PM + 5 hours 10 minutes = 8:35 PM. Answer: \boxed{8:35 \text{ PM}}.
