Question

help me idk how to do these! i have an appointment for 2:00 pm and my journey by car will take 3/4 of an hour. at what time should i leave??

Answer 1

I would leave at 1:00 pm, leaving a bit of time to spare...

Answer 2

how do u do it?

Answer 3

what is 3/4 of 60 min?

Answer 4

45 min right

Answer 5

do u divide 60 by 4 then multiply by 3?

Answer 6

I leave at 1:00 pm. I drive for 3/4 of an hour.
Then it is 1.45 pm, so I have 15 minutes left.

Answer 7

ya u r right

Answer 8

3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60 minutes, so 45 minutes.

Answer 9

so u should leave 45 min earlier

Answer 10

okay thnx there's a question it's the same but like it says the appointment is very important

Answer 11

what is the difference

Answer 12

Well, I wouldn't do that, because I'd like to have some built-in spare time. Maybe I have to look for a parking spot, or need to go to the bathroom...
So having 15 minutes extra is not a bad idea imo.

Answer 13

it means u shuld be earlier than ur regular time...bcz if it important u cant be late and who knows u get stuck in traffic or something...so instead of 45 min i would leave before an hour

Answer 14

If the appopintment is very important, then I would certainly take som extra time. How much? That's up to you to decide.

Answer 15

emm i don't know it's a question like from the maths book

Answer 16

well thanks anyway

Answer 17

You have to think for yourself in this case and decide what is reasonable. It hasn't got much to do with maths.

Answer 18

For sure you couldn't leave any later then 1:15....but that would be cutting it close.
