Given the statement:

Katie practiced the flute for 45 minutes. Then she ate a snack for 15 minutes next she watched television for 30 minutes until 6:00 pm.

Determine what time did Katie started practicing the flute.

Solution:

The given problem can be solved using logical analysis. The first step is to subtract 30 minutes to 6:00 pm, followed by 15 minutes then 45 minutes, or we can simply subtract 1 hour and 30 minutes to 6:00 pm.

= 6:00pm - 1:30 

= 4:30 pm

Final answer:

Katie started practicing the flute at 4:30 pm
