Meredith Gardner · Answer 1

2:00 p. m.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 hour is equal to 45 minutes. Add 30 minutes to that and you have 1 hour and 15 minutes. You will then add the final hour to that to get 2 hours and 15 minutes. Subtract that from 4:15 and you get 2:00.

Kendrick Lynn · Answer 2

2:00

Step-by-step explanation:

Count backwards from 4:15 p. m. One hour prior to that was at 3:15 p. m.

Her 30-minute break began at 2:45 p. m. Three fourths of an hour before that was at 2:00 p. m. Sasha began work on the first lawn at 2:00 p. m.
