Problem 1: Charles watching snowflakes
- Current time:
10:30 am
- He has been watching for
15 minutes
- So he started at:
10:30 minus 15 minutes = 10:15
→ Match with clock showing
10:15

Problem 2: Amber’s cousin coming over
- Current time:
11:45 am
- Cousin comes in
45 minutes
- So cousin arrives at:
11:45 + 45 minutes
Let’s calculate:
- 11:45 + 15 min = 12:00
- 45 - 15 = 30 more minutes → 12:00 + 30 min =
12:30
→ Match with clock showing
12:30

Problem 3: Gil and Samantha bobsledding
- Current time:
3:20 pm
- They go in
30 minutes
- So they start at:
3:20 + 30 minutes = 3:50
→ Match with clock showing
3:50

Problem 4: Raymond shoveling snow
- Current time:
1:25 pm
- He starts in
55 minutes
- So he starts at:
1:25 + 55 minutes
Calculate:
- 1:25 + 35 min = 2:00
- 55 - 35 = 20 more minutes → 2:00 + 20 min =
2:20
→ Match with clock showing
2:20

Problem 5: Kiara and Lauren taking dog out
- Current time:
8:05 am
- They go out after breakfast in
40 minutes
- So they leave at:
8:05 + 40 minutes = 8:45
→ Match with clock showing
8:45

Final Answer:
- Charles (watching snow) →
10:15
- Amber’s cousin →
12:30
- Gil and Samantha →
3:50
- Raymond →
2:20
- Kiara and Lauren →
8:45
