Question Video: Ordering Times with AM and PM Mathematics

Video Transcript

Natalie eats a snack at 7:35 am and plays tennis at 7:35 pm. Which does she do first, play tennis or eat a snack?

To solve this problem, we’ll need to think about what am and pm mean. Natalie eats a snack at 7:35 am and plays tennis at 7:35 pm. We have to remember that am is in the morning. It is before noon. pm is in the evening. It is afternoon.

If Natalie eats a snack at 7:35 am and plays tennis at 7:35 pm, she eats her snack before she plays tennis, because 7:35 am comes before 7:35 pm. Natalie eats a snack first.
