Dan got on the bus at 4:30 p.m. He got off the bus at 5:11p.m.

Question

How long was he on the bus? Write your answer in minutes.

Answer 1

To determine how long Dan was on the bus, we can subtract the time he got on from the time he got off:

• He got on the bus at 4:30 p.m.
• He got off the bus at 5:11 p.m.

First, we can break it down into hours and minutes:

1. From 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. is 30 minutes.
2. From 5:00 p.m. to 5:11 p.m. is an additional 11 minutes.

Now, we add the two time segments together:

30 minutes + 11 minutes = 41 minutes.

Therefore, Dan was on the bus for 41 minutes.
