Paul's skateboarding competition will start at 11:30 a. M. , but the competitors

must arrive at the skate park three-quarters of an hour early to warm up. The

competition must end by 1:30 p. M.

Paul says he has to be at the skate park at 9:30 a. M. Is Paul correct? Explain

your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

No, Paul is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The competition starts at 11:30am.  9:30am is 2 hours before.

1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes, 1/2 an hour is 30 minutes, 3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes

So, Paul needs to get there 45 minutes before the 11:30am start time.

Paul needs to get there at 10:45am
