Question

What time is it 127 minutes after noon?

• A. 2:07 pm
• B. 1:27 pm
• C. 3:00 pm
• D. 4:00 pm

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2:07 pm

Note that 127 minutes = 120 minutes + 7 minutes.

$1\text{hour}=60\text{minutes}$
$\Rightarrow 120\text{minutes}=\frac{120}{60}\text{hours}$
$=2\text{hours}$

Thus, 127 minutes after noon is 127 minutes from 12 pm, which is 2:07 pm.
