Lower Elementary:
Question: Stacy has tickets to a concert that starts at 8:30 PM. If it's currently 7:42 PM, then how much time does Stacy have to get to the concert before it starts?
Answer: 48 minutes
Solution: We can solve this problem by building up to 8:30. There are 18 minutes until 8:00 because 42 + 18 = 60 minutes, or an hour. There are 30 minutes from 8:00 until 8:30. So, Stacy has 18 + 30 = 48 minutes until the concert starts.
