Mr.rabbit is wearing a watch and knows exactly how many minutes before 5 0'clock it is.Alice, however has not watch and,as they are walking, she asks mr.rabbit what time it is. Mr. rabbit is a clever rabbit who loves number puzzles and therefore, he refuses to give alice a straight answer. Rather, he tells Alice that 40 min. ago it was four times as many minutes past 2 o"clock.Using mr.rabbits clues, help alice figure what time it is now.
