Subtract


16\text{hrs 36 mins}

From


19\text{hrs 12 minutes}

Step 1: Subtract the minutes (note: we can't have negative minutes)


12\min -36\min s=-24\min s

Since we cannot have negative minutes (we will add 60 minutes to the negative minutes and then remove one hour

Substracting the hours, we will have


\begin{gathered} 19-16=3hrs \\ to\text{ remove move one hour, we will have} \\ 3-1=2\text{hrs} \end{gathered}

By adding 60 minutes to the negative minutes, we will have


-24+60=36\min s

Hence,

The final answer is 2 hours 36 mins

Perform the indicated operation.Subtract 16 hours 36 minutes from 19 hours 12 minutes-example-1
