Geoffrey and his babysitter spent 45 minutes eating dinner. if they finished dinner at 8: 55 p. m., what time did they start eating?

They spent 45 minuets eating dinner and they finished eating at 8:55 pm.

You can subtract 55 with 45.

55 - 45 = 10

so, they started eating at 8:10pm

hope this helps!

∞ this is your sign

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
