Problem of the Week - Upper Elementary - April 25, 2021 to May 1, 2021

Upper Elementary: 

Question: It takes Evelyn 8 minutes to job all the way around a circular path. If Evelyn starts at 6:35 AM and jogs around the path exactly 8 times, what time will it be when she's done? 

Answer: 7:39 AM

Solution: Eight minutes, 8 times is 8x8=64 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so Evelyn jogs for 1 hour and 4 minutes because 64 minutes - 60 minutes (1 hour) = 4 minutes. One hour after 6:35 AM is 7:35 AM, and 4 minutes after that is 7:39 AM
