Three friends are talking about their pets.
Jamie’s rabbit is 68 months old.
Summer’s dog is 9 years old 3 months.
Ryan’s cat is 109 months old.
Whose pet is the oldest?

9 x 12 = 108 so there are 108 months in 9 years.
108 months + 3 months = 111months
Summer’s dog is 111 months old.

1. Bob left school at 2:40 pm and reached home at 3:20 pm. How long did bob
take to reach home?
Convert 2:40 pm to 24-hour system = 14:40
Convert 3:20 pm to 24-hour system = 15:20
Time taken = 15:20 – 14:40
Time taken = 14:80 – 14:40
Time taken = 40 min

2. A car left a shopping mall at 6:30 pm and travelled for 47 min to reach a
restaurant. What time did the car arrive at the restaurant? Give your
answer in the 12-hour system.
Convert 6:30 pm to 24-hour system = 18:30
Time taken = 18:30 + 0:47
Time taken = 18:77
Time taken = 19:17
Convert 19:17 pm to 12-hour system = 7:17 pm

3. A ship left Port A on 14th April, 11:30 am and arrived at port B on April
15 at 5:15 am. How long did the ship take to travel from port A to Port B?
Time taken to travel on April 14: = 24:00 - 11:30 = 23:60 – 11:30 = 12:30
Time taken to travel on April 15: = 0:00 + 5:15 = 5:15
Total Travelling time: = 12:30 + 5:15 =17:45
Total Travelling time: 17 h and 45 min
