A football match starts at 2.20 p.m. and lasts for 1 hour 50 minutes. At what time will the game end?
1 hour after 2.20 p.m. will be 3.20 p.m.
We are then left with 50 minutes to add to the 3.20 p.m.
If you add 40 minutes to the 20 minutes after the 3 p.m. [3.20 p.m.] that will be 1 hour [60 minutes make an 1 hour] and at that time the time will be 4 p.m. [1 hour after 3.00 p.m.] and the 50 minutes will be left with 10 minutes.
10 minutes after 4.00 p.m. is 4.10 p.m.
Hence the match will end at 4.10 p.m.
ALTERNATIVELY
To add time, add the hours separately and the minutes separately
If the minutes is 60 or more, convert to hours and minutes
2.20 p.m. = 2 hours and 20 minutes
Adding 1 hour 50 minutes
Adding Hours
2 + 1 = 3
Adding Minutes
20 minutes + 50 minutes = 70 minutes
60 minutes make an hour, hence 70 minutes is 1 hour 10 minutes
Add the 1 hour to the previous sum of the hours
Total hours = 3 + 1 = 4
Minutes left is 10 minutes
Hence the match ends at 4.10 p.m.
