11:25 i think

one hour and ten minutes for the yard work plus her time for her shower is an hour and a half, plus the 30 minutes for the bushes. then the 35 minutes needed for the mulch.

Kaylynn · Answer 2

Add up all the work/clean hours and subtract from 1:00

1 hour + 10 minutes + 30 minutes + 35 minutes + 20 minutes

add the 10 + 30 + 20 to get 60 minutes = 1 hour

2 hours + 35 minutes

subtract 2 hours from 1:00 and get 11:00

Subtract 35 minutes from 11:00 and get 10:25
