What time was it when Tanner stopped playing the game?

Answer :

Final answer:

To ascertain the time Tanner stopped playing the game, we total the time he spent playing which is 4 hours and 56 minutes and add this to the time he started, 11:17 A.M. This calculates to 4:30 P.M.

Explanation:

Tanner began the video game at 11:17 A.M. The total playtime was 4 hours and 56 minutes. Let's break this total playtime down. The first level took him 46 minutes to complete. The second level took him 2 hours and 57 minutes, and the final level took him 1 hour and 13 minutes. So, we sum up all this time: 46 minutes + 2 hours 57 minutes + 1 hour 13 minutes = 4 hours 56 minutes. We add this total playtime to the start time to find out when Tanner stopped playing the game.

To add the minutes, we take the 17 minutes Tanner started after on the hour and add it to the 56 minutes of playtime which results in 73 minutes or 1 hour and 13 minutes. Next, we take the 11 hours Tanner started at and add it to the 4 hours of playtime and the 1 extra hour from the 73 minutes, which totals to 16 hours. Given that there are 24 hours in a day, and an hour count over 12 indicates time in the P.M., the time 16 hours after midnight is 4 P.M. Therefore, Tanner finished playing the game at 4:30 P.M.
