Olivia started knitting a jumper 4 hours and 43 minutes before 19:13. What time did she start knitting the jumper?

Answer :

Answer: 14:30

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Take 13 minutes off the 19:13 to make it 19:00.

2) Then take the same 13 minutes off the 4.43, which would make it 4.30 (4 1/2 hours)

3) Now take off the 4.30 from the 19:00. The 4 portion of 4.3 can be removed: 19:00 - 4:00 = 15:00. Then remove the 0:30 portion (1/2 hour), which would leave 14:30.

14:30 plus 4:43 = 18:73, but the 0:73 must convert to 1:13 to account for the 60 minutes/hour formatT
