The total time spent at the theater, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

• A. 2.5 hours
• B. 4.17 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 3.75 hours

Answer: (B)

The question is testing how to add multiple time blocks and then round the result to two decimal places in hours. You start by converting every segment to hours, add them all, and then apply the rounding rule: look at the third decimal place; if it’s 5 or more, increase the second decimal by one, otherwise keep it. In this problem, the total time, after summing all parts, ends up as a number that rounds to 4.17 hours. That means the sum’s hundredths place is 7 and the thousandths place is less than 5, so the two-decimal value is 4.17. The other options would require a total that rounds to a different hundredth, which isn’t what the calculated sum yields.
