A train arrives at 15:06. If it started its journey 5¼ hours ago, what was the starting time?
Explanation
We are told:
Arrival time = 15:06 (i.e., 3:06 PM)
Journey duration = 5¼ hours = 5 hours 15 minutes
Step 1: Subtract 5 hours 15 minutes from 15:06
Start with 15:06
Subtract 5 hours → 10:06
Subtract 15 minutes → 9:51
