Math Problem Statement
The number line shows when Ahmet [\greenD{\text{starts}}] and [\redD{\text{finishes}}] walking to his neighbor's house. A number line labeled 1:45 to 2:15 with tick marks every 1 unit. A point labeled start appears 2 tick marks after 1:45, and a point labeled finish appears at 2 tick marks after 2:10.
Solution
We can interpret the number line based on the description you provided. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
-
The time range on the number line goes from 1:45 to 2:15, with tick marks every 1 unit. This indicates each tick mark represents 5 minutes.
-
Ahmet's start time is mentioned as 2 tick marks after 1:45:
- Each tick represents 5 minutes, so 2 tick marks after 1:45 is .
- Therefore, Ahmet started walking at 1:55.
-
Ahmet's finish time is 2 tick marks after 2:10:
- Adding 10 minutes to 2:10 gives .
- Therefore, Ahmet finished walking at 2:20.
-
Now, to determine how long Ahmet walked:
- Ahmet started at 1:55 and finished at 2:20.
- The time difference is .
Summary:
Ahmet walked for 25 minutes.
Would you like to dive into more details or have any further questions?
Here are some related questions:
- What is the time span between 1:45 and 2:15?
- If Ahmet walked back, how long would it take assuming the return trip was faster by 5 minutes?
- How would the scenario change if Ahmet started at 2:00 and finished at 2:30?
- How do we calculate time differences when crossing over into the next hour?
- What are some real-life scenarios where calculating time differences is useful?
Tip: When working with time intervals, always ensure to account for the 60-minute cycle to avoid mistakes.
