HELP

Answer 1

• 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 2

`\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}`
