Explanation:

Step1: Convert time units

1 hour = 60 minutes. So 1 hour and 80 minutes = 60 + 80 = 140 minutes.

Step2: Calculate total time spent

They built sand - castle for 35 minutes and played volleyball for 15 minutes. The total time for these activities is 35+15 = 50 minutes.

Step3: Calculate departure time

They got to the beach at 12:00 P.M. They spent 140 + 50=190 minutes at the beach. 190 minutes = 3 hours and 10 minutes. 12:00 P.M. + 3 hours and 10 minutes = 3:10 P.M.

Answer:

3:10 P.M.
