Question

What is the difference, in hours and minutes, between these times?

a) 12:35 and 15:20
b) 10:15 and 13:05
c) 4:30am and 6:50am
d) 9:55am and 1:15pm

Answer 1

The differences in hours and minutes between the given pairs of times are calculated by subtracting the earlier time from the later time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between two times, we need to subtract the earlier time from the later time. Let's calculate the differences for each given pair of times:

1. a) 12:35 to 15:20:
   15:20 - 12:35 = 2 hours and 45 minutes
2. b) 10:15 to 13:05:
   13:05 - 10:15 = 2 hours and 50 minutes
3. c) 4:30am to 6:50am:
   6:50 - 4:30 = 2 hours and 20 minutes
4. d) 9:55am to 1:15pm:
   1:15 - 9:55 = 3 hours and 20 minutes
