how many minutes are there for 5 pm if 40 mins. Ago it was four times as
many minutes past 2p.m.

Read Solution (Total 1)

28 mins

Let the minutes until 5:00 = x
the minutes from 2:00 until 40 minute before x = 4x
so the time from 2:00 to 5:00 is 180 minutes = x + 40 + 4x
5x=140
x = 28
so 28 minutes till 5:00
