Question

Alana goes to see a concert that lasts for 2 hours and 10 minutes.
It ends at half past 8.

What time did the concert start?

Answers

  1. Answer:
    6: 20
    Step-by-step explanation:
    (half past 8 = 8:30)
    First, we can calculate what 2 hours earlier was.
    When it ends at 8 : 30, two hours before that would have been 6 : 30 (8 – 2 = 6)
    Then, 10 minutes before that would be 6 : 20 (30 – 10).
    So, from working backwards, the concert started at 6 : 20
