Final answer:
The duration of time between 4:00 pm and 5:05 pm is 65 minutes. You add 60 minutes to get from 4:00 to 5:00 pm and then an additional 5 minutes to reach 5:05 pm. Therefore the correct answer is option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The duration of time between 4:00 pm and 5:05 pm is calculated by finding the difference in time from the start point to the end point. To do this, you subtract the starting time from the ending time. Since both times are within the same hour range (pm), we can disregard the am/pm distinction and focus only on the hours and minutes.
Starting at 4:00 pm and ending at 5:05 pm, you add 60 minutes to move from 4:00 to 5:00 pm and then an additional 5 minutes to reach 5:05 pm. Therefore, the calculation is as follows:
- From 4:00 to 5:00 pm is 60 minutes.
- From 5:00 to 5:05 pm is an additional 5 minutes.
Combine the two durations: 60 minutes + 5 minutes = 65 minutes.
The answer is option (b) 65 minutes.
