Question

at 7:38:16a.m ( 38 minutes abd 16 seconds after 7 0'clock) the countdown on a rocket launch stood at -14:42 (14minutes and 42 seconds before launch). there was a 37-second delay in resuming the count. at what time did the rocket take off????

Answer 1

60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minute = 1 hour

because of the 37 second delay that took place, the time taken for the lauch got increased by 37 seconds.

14minutes 42seconds + 37 seconds = 15minutes 19seconds

the next step is to simply add the time taken for lauch and the time at which the countdown started:

7:38:16 + 15 minutes and 19seconds.

always do question involving the addition/subtraction of time step by step.
add the minutes first:
7:38:16 + 15minutes = 7:53:16

next add the seconds:
7:53:16 + 19seconds = 7:53:35

so the rocket will lauch at exactly 7:53:35.

to tackle questions involving time, always remember to do it step by step, tackling the hours first followed by the minutes and then seconds. doing things clearly and step by step is the key.

Answer 2
