Ms. Hoffman asked how much time she was on a bus. The first thing you have to do is figure out when she was on the bus.
She left Olympia at 9:30 am.
She arrived in a town called Pirgos at 10:43 am.
She stayed in the bus station at Pirgos till her bus to Tripoli at 3:30 pm.
She arrived in Tripoli at 6:10 pm.
She stayed in the bus station at Tripoli until her bus to Sparta at 6:55 pm.
She arrived (finally!) in Sparta at 8:05 pm.
She was on the bus from 9:30 am to 10:43 am when she traveled from Olympia to Pirgos.
Then she was on the bus from 3:30 pm to 6:10 pm when she traveled from Pirgos to Tripoli.
Finally she was on the bus from 6:55 pm to 8:05 pm when she traveled from Tripoli to Sparta.
Let's figure out how much each of those were, and then how much it was in all!
1 hr 13 min + 2 hrs 40 min + 1 hr 10 min = 4 hrs 63 min
But wait! If you have 63 min, is that more than 1 hour?? Yes! How many minutes in 1 hour? 60, right?
63 min - 60 min (1 hr) = 3 min.
She left Olympia at 9:30 am.
She arrived in a town called Pirgos at 10:43 am.
She stayed in the bus station at Pirgos till her bus to Tripoli at 3:30 pm.
She arrived in Tripoli at 6:10 pm.
She stayed in the bus station at Tripoli until her bus to Sparta at 6:55 pm.
She arrived (finally!) in Sparta at 8:05 pm.
She was on the bus from 9:30 am to 10:43 am when she traveled from Olympia to Pirgos.
Then she was on the bus from 3:30 pm to 6:10 pm when she traveled from Pirgos to Tripoli.
Finally she was on the bus from 6:55 pm to 8:05 pm when she traveled from Tripoli to Sparta.
Let's figure out how much each of those were, and then how much it was in all!
1 hr 13 min + 2 hrs 40 min + 1 hr 10 min = 4 hrs 63 min
But wait! If you have 63 min, is that more than 1 hour?? Yes! How many minutes in 1 hour? 60, right?
63 min - 60 min (1 hr) = 3 min.
The answer is 5 hours and 3 min!
