Solution

To find out the latest time Helen can get up without being late for work, we need to add the time it takes her to get ready and the time it takes her to drive to work.

  1. First, convert the time Helen needs to be at work from hours and minutes to minutes only. 6:20 A.M. is 380 minutes (6 hours * 60 minutes/hour + 20 minutes).

  2. Then, add the time it takes her to get ready and the time it takes her to drive to work. 55 minutes + 25 minutes = 80 minutes.

  3. Subtract this total from the time Helen needs to be at work. 380 minutes - 80 minutes = 300 minutes.

  4. Finally, convert this time back to hours and minutes. 300 minutes is 5 hours and 0 minutes, so the latest time Helen can get up without being late for work is 5:00 A.M.
