In order to enhance proficiency in Mathematical language, the problems should be presented in the following sequence:
Everyday Language means the unique way of explaining the problem in simple language. Mathematized situation language involves technical and subjective terminologies of that problem. Language of Mathematical problem-solving involves formulas and steps involved to solve that problem. Symbolic Language means the use of characters, signs, short forms, or images to represent concepts.
Hence, the correct answer is, 
'Everyday language → Mathematized situation language → Language of Mathematical problem-solving → Symbolic language'.

Given:
The time = 2:58 p.m.
Concept:
1 hour = 60 minutes
Calculation:
⇒ 2 hours 58 minutes = (2 × 60) + 58 = 120 + 58 = 178 minutes
⇒ 4 hours 59 minutes = (4 × 60) + 59 = 240 + 59 = 299 minutes
⇒ The difference between them = 299 - 178 = 121 minutes or (2 hours 1 minutes)
⇒ Now this 2 hours 1 minutes will be before 12 p.m. then, 
⇒ Required timing = (12 × 60) - 121 = 720 - 121 = 599 or (9 hours 59 minutes)
∴ The required result will be 9 : 59 a.m.
