Answer 1

If it is 10;25 p.m. what time was it 11 hours and 55 minutes before 10:30 a.m.1

Answer 2

10:30 am

Explanation:

First we must convert the 10:25 pm to the 24 hour clock so we wont have negative results. To do this we add 12 hours to the given time (because it is between 1 pm and 11:59 pm)

10:25 hours+12 hours=22:25 hours

to this 22:25 hours we will substract 11:55 minutes to know what time was before that time passed like this:

-First we substract the minutes:

25-55=-30

we obtain a negative result, when this happens we add 60 to the first value (25)

85-55=30 (Minutes)

and substract 1 from the first value of the hours so we wont have 22 but 21. And we substract normally now having the minutes ready

21-11=10( Hours)

The time was 10:30 am
