Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour 50 minutes = 110 mins

1 1/2 hours = 90 mins

add all these:

110

90

85

55

35

when you add all these you get 375

every hour has 60 minutes

375 ÷ 60 = 6.15

if he starts at 9 am and he cleans for 6.15 hours he will be finished by 3:15pm.

Based on the number of minutes Theo will take to clean the various rooms, and the time he will take to rest, he will finish cleaning at 3:15 pm.

What time will Theo finish cleaning?

The best thing to do here is to convert all the minutes to decimals. This would make adding them up easier.

Kitchen = 1 hour 50 minutes = 1 + 50/60 = 1.833 hours

Lounge = 55 minutes = 55/60 = 0.916 hours

Bedroom = 1.5 hours

Bathroom = 35 minutes = 35/60 = 0.583

Breaks = 85 / 60 = 1.417

Add them up:
= 1.833 + 0.916 + 1.5 + 0.583 + 1.417

= 6.249 hours

= 6 + (0.249 x 60 minutes)

= 6 hours 15 minutes

The time he will finish is:

= 6 hours 15 + 9

= 1515 hours

= 3:15 pm
