Question

circle the digital clock that shows the same time as the analog clock
grove elementarys basketball team lost their game on friday by 15 points. if the winning team had 62 points, how many points did grove elementary have?
show your work
answer:______points

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the analog clock

The hour hand is close to 8 and the minute hand is at 3 (since each number on the clock for minutes represents 5 minutes, \(3\times5 = 15\) minutes). So the time on the analog clock is \(8:15\).

Step2: Solve the basketball - points problem

The winning team had 62 points. Grove Elementary's team lost by 15 points. Let \(x\) be the number of points Grove Elementary's team had. Then \(x=62 - 15\).

$$x=62-15=47$$

Answer:

• For the clock - related part: Circle the digital clock that shows \(8:15\).
• For the basketball - points part: 47 points.
