Question

If an event starts at $11:10$ a.m. and the duration of the event is $28$ minutes, find when the event ends.

• A. $11:28\text{a.m}$
• B. $11:38\text{p.m}$
• C. $11:38\text{a.m}$
• D. $10:28\text{a.m}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $11:38\text{a.m}$

The event starts at $11:10$ a.m.
Also, the duration of the event is $28$ minutes.

To calculate the end time of the event, let’s jump $28$ minutes from the starting time.
$28$ minutes can be broken down as:
$28\text{min}=10+10+8$



So, we finally land at $11:38\text{a.m}$.
So, the end time of the event is $11:38\text{a.m}$.
