Lower Elementary:
Question: Kylie and Layla get on a school bus at 3:15 pm. At 3:23 pm, Layla tells Kylie that they are halfway to her house. How long does it take to get from the school to Layla's house?
Answer: 16 minutes
Solution: From 3:15 pm to 3:23 pm is 23 – 15 = 8 minutes. Since half of the trip from school to Layla’s house takes 8 minutes, that means that the whole trip takes that amount of time doubled. So, the whole trip from school to Layla’s house is 8 + 8 = 16 minutes.
