On monday, kym spent 15 minutes folding the clothes. she took a bath for 25 minutes and then took 10 minutes to make her bed. kym then went to bed. she went to bed at 8: 30 p. m.

what time did kym start folding the clothes?

a.

7: 20 p. m.

b.

7: 40 p. m.

c.

8: 10 p. m.

d.

9: 20 p. m.

Ok. First, Kym went to bed at 8:30. There are only 60 minutes in an hour. 10 minutes to make her bed. 8:30 - 10 = 8:20. She had a 25 minute bath "jeez that's long" 8:20 - 25 = 7:55. Kym spent 15 minutes folding clothes: 7:55 - 15 = 7:40. She began to start folding clothes at 7:40.

B. 7:40 p.m.
Or you could do it the easy way.
15 + 25 + 10 = 50

50 - 8:30 = 7:40
