1. Danny will meet his friend at 11:30 am. It took 35 minutes to reach his friend's house. At what time did he reach?
To find the time Danny reached his friend's house, we need to subtract the time it took to travel from the meeting time.
- Meeting time: 11:30 am

2. Dakota arrived at her school at 9:30 am. She left at 2:30 pm. How long was she at school?
To find the duration Dakota was at school, we need to calculate the time difference between her arrival and departure.
- Arrival time: 9:30 am
- Departure time: 2:30 pm
- Convert both times to a 24-hour format: 9:30 am = 09:30, 2:30 pm = 14:30
- Subtract the arrival time from the departure time: 14:30 - 09:30 = 5 hours
- Answer: 5 hours

- Time until dinner: 50 minutes
- Add 50 minutes to 9:15 pm: 9:15 pm + 50 minutes = 10:05 pm
- Answer: 10:05 pm
4. Jordon joined work at 10:00 am. He left at 5:45 pm. How long did he work?
To find the duration Jordon worked, we need to calculate the time difference between his start and end times.

- End time: 5:45 pm
- Convert both times to a 24-hour format: 10:00 am = 10:00, 5:45 pm = 17:45
- Subtract the start time from the end time: 17:45 - 10:00 = 7 hours 45 minutes
- Answer: 7 hours 45 minutes
