Question

How many hours are there if u subtract 2 hours 17 minutes − 52 minutes?

Answer 1

2 hours 17 minutes= 137 minutes
137- 52= 85 minutes
85 minutes= 1hr and 25 minutes
≈ 1.4167 hours

Answer 2

First, we can convert 2 hours and 17 minutes to minutes so it will make it way easier to subtract. 1 hour = 60 minutes so 2 hours is 120 minutes and then we need to add 17 so we have 137 minutes.

137 - 52 = 85

85 minutes to hours

85 minutes = 1.41667 hours
