Answer:
12:33 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Often, problems involving addition and subtraction of time values are best worked in 24-hour "military" time.
Here, we want to know the time that is 2:36 before 3:09 pm. We can write 3:09 pm as 15:09. Then the difference is ...
starting time + travel time = ending time
starting time = ending time - travel time
starting time = 15:09 -2:36 = (15-2):(09-36) = 13:(-27) = 12:33
