Marie does three equally time-consuming tasks in a row without taking breaks. She begins the first task at 1:00 PM and finishes the second task at 2:40 PM. When does she finish the third task?

1PM - 2:40PM   =  100 minutes

 

So.....each task takes 50 minutes

 

And the third task lasts 50 minutes, too.....so

 

2:40PM + 50 minutes   = 3:30 PM is when the last task is completed....

 

 

cool cool cool
