Question

What time is four and a half hour before 11:45 am

Answer 1

7:15 AM

Explanation:

First, take 11 - 4 to give you 7. The 11 comes from the starting time, and the four comes from the four and a half hours.

Next, you'll take 45 - 30 to give you 15. Again, the 45 coming from 11:45 and the 30, or 1/2, coming from the four and a half hours before hand.

In the end, you'll get 7:15. Since the starting time was in the AM, and we are going back in time 4 1/2 hours, it will still be AM. So we add AM onto the end of the 7:15 to get your answer.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

11:45 - 4 hrs = 7:45 - 30 mins(1/2 hour)(1 hour=60 minutes) = 7:15
