Brandon has an automatic timer for his soaker hose. He wants to run the water for 200 minutes and have it shut off at 7:30 a.m. What time should he set the timer to start?

To determine when Brandon should set his timer, he needs to count back 200 minutes from 7:30 a.m. This breaks down to 3 hours and 20 minutes. If we subtract that from 7:30, he should set the timer to start at 4:10 a.m. So, there you have it—set the timer bright and early and let that garden soak! Timing is everything, especially when it comes to watering your garden! If you’re not a morning person, consider using a timer with a digital display that also has a user-friendly interface. This way, you can enjoy a green lawn without having to wake up just to turn on the hose—after all, keeping your garden hydrated should be a relaxing experience!
