25 minutes ago, it was 50 minutes past 5 o’clock. How many minutes are left now until 7 o’clock?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 45 minutes
First find the time now by moving 25 minutes forward from the earlier time, then count the minutes from now up to 7 o’clock.
25 minutes ago it was 5:50
Time now \(=\) 5:50 + 25 minutes = 6:15
From 6:15 to 7:00 there are 45 minutes
