Worked Solution
Step 1: Find total typing time.
3 000 ÷ 50 = 60 minutes
Step 2: Determine number of breaks.
Break after every 30 minutes of typing.
60 minutes of typing → break after the 1st 30 min.
After the 2nd 30 min of typing, the essay is finished — no 2nd break needed.
Number of breaks = 1
Step 3: Total clock time.
60 min (typing) + 10 min (1 break) = 70 min
Step 4: Finish time.
10:00 a.m. + 70 min = 11:10 a.m.
Correct answer: 11:10 a.m.
