Jim went to the playground. He played on the swings for 45 minutes and went on the slide for 55 minutes. It was 4:35 P.M. when Jim left the playground. What time was it when Jim arrived at the playground?

2:55 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the amount of time Jim played outside; 45+55=100

100 minutes is equal to 1 hour 40 minutes.

If he left the playground at 4:35 P.M., then you have to subtract in order to find out when he arrived there.

Subtract 1 hour 40 minutes from 4:35 P.M. to then get 2:55 P.M.

To confirm your answer, you can add back the 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2:55 P.M. and you'll get 4:35 P.M.; back with what you started with.

Hope this helped !!!
