1. Hannah decided to curl up and read a good book. She started reading at 10:00 a.m. and finished reading at 11:43 a.m. How much time did she spend reading?

1 hour and 43 minutes

if ten to 11 is 1 hr, there is 43 mins left over so the answer is 1 hr 43 mins

so from 10 am to 11 am would 60 minutes (1 hour) and from 11 am hannah spent 43 additional minutes because the finish time reads 11:43 (where the numbers after the ":" sign are minutes) we add the 60 minutes with 43 to get 103 minutes or 1 hour and 43 minutes.
