At 8:15 AM, Emory found a parking meter that still had 20 minutes until it expired. She quickly put a nickel, a dime, and two quarters in the meter and went shopping. If every 5 cents buys 15 minutes of parking time, at what time will the meter expire?

Answer 1

Emory put in a total of 5 cents (nickel) + 10 cents (dime) + 25 cents (2 quarters) = 40 cents
40 cents = 40/5 = 8 intervals of 5 cents
8 intervals * 15 minutes = 120 minutes

So, the meter will expire in 120 minutes, which is the same as 2 hours.

If Emory found the meter at 8:15 AM and it expires in 2 hours, then the meter will expire at 10:15 AM.
