How many minutes is it until 5:00 if forty minutes ago it was four times as many minutes past 2 o'clock?
There are 180 minutes from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock
The time is now 28 minutes until 5
Explanation: If it's now 28 minutes until 5, then 40 minutes ago it was 68 minutes until 5,
which is 112 minutes after 2 (i.e. 180 – 68 = 112) and 112 is 4 times 28
