1.4 It is now 11:45, What will the time be 1 hour and 50 minutes later?
A
B
C
(D)

To find the time 1 hour and 50 minutes later than 11:45, first, add the 1 hour, making it 12:45. Then, add the 50 minutes: 12:45 plus 50 minutes equals 1:35. So the answer is B !

Fun fact: Timekeeping as we know it has origins in ancient civilisations, including the Egyptians who divided the day into 24 parts, leading to our current hour structure. Their sundials were quite the game-changer in tracking time!

When solving time addition problems, it’s easy to get lost in the numbers. Keep track of the hour and minutes separately. A common mistake is to forget that minutes can exceed 60; when that happens, you need to convert extra minutes into hours and add them accordingly!
