Answer:

To calculate the time elapsed from 2:20 P.M. to 5:57 P.M., follow these steps:

Calculate the number of minutes from 2:20 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.

From 2:20 P.M. to 3:00 P.M., it's 40 minutes.

From 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M., it's 2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes.

Calculate the number of minutes from 5:00 P.M. to 5:57 P.M.

From 5:00 P.M. to 5:57 P.M., it's 57 minutes.

Add the minutes together:

40 minutes + 120 minutes + 57 minutes = 217 minutes.

Now, convert these minutes back into hours and minutes:

217 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 3 hours with a remainder of 37 minutes.

So, the time elapsed is 3 hours and 37 minutes.
