Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

At 20 minutes after 12 midnight, how many hours have elapsed?

Answer: 12:20 - 4:20 = 8:00 hours.

How many more hous do we have to go.

10 - 8 hours = 2 hours.

So If we start at 12:20 and add 2 hours on a 12 hour clock, we will get 2:20

Answer

The IV should be stopped at 2:20.
