Problem 3:
Question: Soccer practice began at 8:35 am. It ended at 9:50 am. How long was soccer practice?
#### Solution:
1.
Start Time: 8:35 am
2.
End Time: 9:50 am
3.
Duration Calculation:
- First, calculate the minutes from 8:35 to 9:00:
\[
9:00 - 8:35 = 25 \text{ minutes}
\]
- Then, add the remaining time from 9:00 to 9:50:
\[
9:50 - 9:00 = 50 \text{ minutes}
\]
- Total duration:
\[
25 \text{ minutes} + 50 \text{ minutes} = 75 \text{ minutes}
\]
- Convert 75 minutes into hours and minutes:
\[
75 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour and } 15 \text{ minutes}
\]
