Subtraction !! Super Simple!

Questions To Ask Yourself?
- How long is an hour
- How long is two?
- How long is ....

Now we'll try to do the math in our head? or on paper... either's fine! :D

60
× ...

Try that math! I won't help with the answer, but I sure will help with the solving. :D

What i'll say is that subtract 10-8 = 2pm. That's the time... but you still have those minutes. 1:52 was the start time. :D
