Answer: 2:55 PM
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The length of the movie is 2 hour and 35 minutes
If the movie is finished at 5:30 PM
First, subtract 2 hours from the finishing time i.e.
[tex]=5:30\ \text{PM}-2\ \text{hr}\\=3:30\ \text{PM}[/tex]
Now, subtract 35 minutes into two parts i.e. 30 min and 5 min from 3:30 PM
[tex]=3:30\ \text{PM}-30\ \text{min}\\=3:00\ \text{PM}[/tex]
remaining 5 min
[tex]=3:00\ \text{PM}-05\ \text{min}\\=2:55\ \text{PM}[/tex]
Thus, the starting time is 2:55 PM
