Question

A cinema has movies that last 2 hours 15 minutes, if 5 movies pass and start screening them at 10:00 in the morning and there is a 15-minute break between each movie at what times do they finish screening the last movie?

Answer 1

To solve this question first we need to transform 2h 15min (film duration) into minutes as follows:

Once we know the film duration is 135 min, now we can simulate our situation as follows:

As we can see above, screening 5 movies + all the breaks between the movies takes 735 min, let's transform it:

So, 735 min is the same as 12h 15 min.

Now we just need to consider the screening has started at 10:00 and ad the screening duration: 10 h + 12h 15min = 22h 15min. So they'll finish screening the last movie at 22:15.
