Sure, let's tackle each problem one by one: --- ### **10. Suppose you arrive at a movie at 7:15. The movie begins at 7:00. Are you early or late?** **Answer:** You are **15 minutes late**. - **Explanation:** If the movie starts at 7:00 and you arrive at 7:15, you've arrived **15 minutes after** the start time. --- ### **1. Story hour at the library begins at 2:45. Is this closer to 2:00 or 3:00?** **Answer:** 2:45 is closer to **3:00**. - **Explanation:** - From 2:45 to 3:00 is **15 minutes**. - From 2:00 to 2:45 is **45 minutes**. - Since 15 minutes is less than 45 minutes, 2:45 is closer to 3:00. --- ### **2. Piano lessons end at a quarter to 4. Write this time in numbers.** **Answer:** A quarter to 4 is written as **3:45**. - **Explanation:** - "A quarter to 4" means 15 minutes before 4:00. - Therefore, 4:00 minus 15 minutes equals **3:45**. --- If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
