1 answer

The total time Lawrence needs to account for is 20 minutes (bike ride) + 30 minutes (dinner) + 45 minutes (homework) = 95 minutes. To make it to his job by 5:00 p.m., he needs to start working backwards from that time.

5:00 p.m. - 95 minutes = 3:25 p.m.

Therefore, Lawrence needs to start his homework by 3:25 p.m.

The answer is B) 3:25 p.m.
