Praxis 5511 Practice Test Practice Question
On Saturday, Amber began hiking at 9:00 AM, and finished at 3:00 PM. On the same day, Sondra began hiking at 8:50 AM and finished at 2:20 PM. Amber hiked how many minutes more than Sondra hiked?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine how many minutes Amber hiked more than Sondra, first calculate the duration of each hike. Amber hiked from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which totals 6 hours or 360 minutes. Sondra hiked from 8:50 AM to 2:20 PM, totaling 5 hours and 30 minutes, or 330 minutes.
Now, subtract Sondra's total time from Amber's: 360 minutes - 330 minutes = 30 minutes. Thus, Amber hiked 30 minutes more than Sondra, indicating a miscalculation in the options provided.
Options A (40), B (50), and D (70) are incorrect as they do not reflect the actual difference in hiking times.
