On Monday, Danielle started painting a three-room house at the time shown on the clock face below. time=7:10?
Hi H asked:
Danielle took 1 hour and 15 minutes to paint each room. she also took a 42 minutes lunch break. At what time did she finish painting the house?

7:10 + 3(1:15) + :42 (start time + # of rooms times time it took to paint each room + break time – remember : symbol shows time, so math is factors of 60 minutes per hour and not direct multiplication and addition)
= 7:10 + 3:45 + :42
= 10:55 + :42
= 11:37
Simple math based on 60 minutes per hour. Please make sure you understand each iteration before using the answer (I broke it down as far as possible). Hope this helps.
