  • Wake up time=10:17

4hours after time?

Hour. will be changed only

  • 10:17+4=14:17

The time in 24hr format is 14:17 and in 12 hr format it's 2:17

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\bf\:14:17}

Explanation:

Given information,

  • Time Maria starts doing her school work =
    10:17
  • Number of hours she spends =
    4 hours
  • Time she finishes her work by = ?

Since the question doesn't provide whether
10:17 is in Post Meridiem(P.M) or Ante Meridiem (A.M), we'll be using the 24-hour clock format.

In the 24-hour clock format, the clock goes from 12:01 to 23:59 each day. Each full rotation of the clock from this period shows that a day has passed by.

In the above case, if Maria starts her work by
10:17, then,

Time Maria finishes her work by


=\sf\: 10:17 + (4 \: one-hour \:clock \: rotations)\\= \sf\:10:17 \rightarrow (11:17\rightarrow12:17\rightarrow13:17\rightarrow14:17)\\= \boxed{\bf\:14:17}
