Answer:

D. 9:00 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both of these numbers are multiples of ten you only need to find the Least Common Multiple.

It depends on what method will you use,I usually do the multipying method which is keep on multiplying all numbers given to find the same multiple or common.

50-50,100,150,200,250,300

60-60,120,180,240,300

Since both numbers has a multiple of 300,this is the least common multiple

Next,you need to add 300 minutes since 300 is the LCM(least common multiple)which is 4:00 P.M. + 300 minutes is also be simplified into 5 hours since 1 hour = 60 minutes so 300 divided by 60 = 5

Lastly,after you add both time you will get the answer of 9:00 P.M.

4:00 P.M.+5 hours = 9:00 P.M. thx.
