Miguel is preparing for a school field trip to the Edwards Plateau. He leaves his house at 9:15 AM and the bus ride to the plateau takes 25 minutes. What time will Miguel arrive at the Edwards Plateau?
- 9:40 AM ✓
- 9:50 AM
- 9:30 AM
- 10:00 AM
Why: To find the time Miguel arrives at the Edwards Plateau, add the 25 minutes of travel time to his departure time of 9:15 AM. Start at 9:15 AM, add 25 minutes. 15 minutes after 9:15 AM is 9:30 AM, and then add the additional 10 minutes to reach 9:40 AM. Therefore, Miguel will arrive at 9:40 AM.
Sofia went to the Lufkin Piney Woods and spent 15 minutes watching a great horned owl. Then, she spent another 25 minutes exploring the forest. How much time did Sofia spend in total watching the owl and exploring the forest?
- 40 minutes ✓
- 30 minutes
- 50 minutes
- 20 minutes
Why: To find the total time Sofia spent, add the time spent watching the owl and the time spent exploring the forest. 15 minutes + 25 minutes = 40 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 minutes.
Emma went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. She arrived at the event at 2:15 PM. She spent 25 minutes at the petting zoo and then watched a rodeo show that lasted 45 minutes. What time did Emma finish watching the rodeo show?
- 3:25 PM ✓
- 3:05 PM
- 2:55 PM
- 3:15 PM
Why: Emma arrived at 2:15 PM. She spent 25 minutes at the petting zoo, so the time after the petting zoo is 2:15 PM + 25 minutes = 2:40 PM. Then, she watched a rodeo show for 45 minutes. Adding 45 minutes to 2:40 PM gives us 3:25 PM. Therefore, Emma finished watching the rodeo show at 3:25 PM.
Valentina is planning a fun day at Caddo Lake with her friends. They start their day at 10:00 AM. First, they will go kayaking for 45 minutes, and then they will have a picnic for 30 minutes. What time will they finish their activities at Caddo Lake?
- 10:45 AM
- 11:15 AM ✓
- 11:30 AM
- 11:00 AM
Why: To find out what time Valentina finishes her activities, first add the kayaking time of 45 minutes to the start time of 10:00 AM. This brings us to 10:45 AM. Next, add the picnic time of 30 minutes to 10:45 AM, which gives us 11:15 AM. Therefore, the correct answer is 11:15 AM.
Emma went to Galveston Bay and started watching the sunrise at 6:15 AM. She watched for 45 minutes before her family arrived. What time did her family arrive?
- 7:00 AM ✓
- 6:45 AM
- 6:30 AM
- 7:15 AM
Why: To find out what time Emma's family arrived, we need to add the 45 minutes she watched the sunrise starting from 6:15 AM. Adding 45 minutes to 6:15 AM gives us 7:00 AM. Therefore, the correct answer is 7:00 AM.
Janelle is planning a visit to the San Antonio Stock Show. She arrives at 2:15 PM and spends 45 minutes looking at the cattle exhibits. After that, she goes to watch a rodeo that lasts for another 30 minutes. What time does Janelle leave the stock show?
- 3:30 PM ✓
- 3:00 PM
- 2:45 PM
- 3:15 PM
Why: To find out what time Janelle leaves the stock show, we start by adding the time she spends at the cattle exhibits to her arrival time. Janelle arrives at 2:15 PM and spends 45 minutes there. Adding 45 minutes to 2:15 PM gives us 3:00 PM. Then, she watches the rodeo for another 30 minutes. Adding 30 minutes to 3:00 PM results in 3:30 PM. Therefore, Janelle leaves the stock show at 3:30 PM.
Emilio went to the Texas State Fair in Dallas. He spent 25 minutes playing a game and then 15 minutes eating a giant turkey leg. How much time did Emilio spend at the fair in total?
- 40 minutes ✓
- 30 minutes
- 50 minutes
- 35 minutes
Why: To find the total time Emilio spent at the fair, you add the time he spent playing the game (25 minutes) to the time he spent eating (15 minutes). So, 25 + 15 equals 40 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 minutes.
Mateo is helping his family set up for a picnic at Caddo Lake. They plan to spend 30 minutes preparing the food and 45 minutes setting up the picnic area. If they start preparing at 1:00 PM, what time will they finish setting up the picnic area?
- 1:45 PM
- 2:15 PM ✓
- 2:30 PM
- 2:00 PM
Why: To find the finishing time, we add the preparation time and the setup time. First, Mateo's family will spend 30 minutes preparing the food, which takes them to 1:30 PM. Then, they will spend 45 additional minutes setting up, making it 1:30 PM + 45 minutes = 2:15 PM. Therefore, the correct answer is 2:15 PM.
