∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ Calculate the time from the first bus at 5:13 a.m. to Jerry's arrival at 8:35 a.m. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ Convert both times to minutes past midnight: $5:13$ a.m. is $313$ minutes past midnight, and $8:35$ a.m. is $515$ minutes past midnight. ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ Find the difference in minutes between Jerry's arrival and the first bus: $515 - 313 = 202$ minutes. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ Determine how many full 20-minute intervals have passed by dividing 202 minutes by 20: $\frac{202}{20} = 10$ with a remainder of 2 minutes. ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ Since 10 full intervals have passed, the next interval will be the 11th, which is 20 minutes after the 10th interval. ‖ ‖ step 6 ⋮ Calculate the waiting time for the next bus: $20 - 2 = 18$ minutes. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ Jerry will have to wait 18 minutes for the next bus. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Modular Arithmetic and Time Calculation⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹To find the waiting time for the next bus, we calculate the time elapsed since the first bus and use modular arithmetic to find the remainder, which gives us the time until the next bus arrives.⚹◊What time will Jerry catch the next bus after 8:35 a.m.?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
