Question

a morning show started at 9:24 am and ran for 126 minutes.

what time did the show finish?

complete correctly:

the show finished at : am.

Explanation:

Convert minutes to hours and minutes

We convert the duration of \(126\) minutes.
Since \(1\text{ hour} = 60\text{ minutes}\):

$$ 126 \div 60 = 2\text{ hours with a remainder of } 6\text{ minutes} $$

Thus, \(126\text{ minutes} = 2\text{ hours and } 6\text{ minutes}\).

Add the elapsed time to the start time

The show starts at \(9\text{:}24\text{ am}\).
We add \(2\text{ hours}\) to the hours:

$$ 9 + 2 = 11 $$

We add \(6\text{ minutes}\) to the minutes:

$$ 24 + 6 = 30 $$

This gives a final time of \(11\text{:}30\text{ am}\).
