Answer:

44 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Michelle started doing a puzzle at 7:50 p.m. She finished the puzzle at 8:34 p.m.

To Find:

How long did Michelle work on the puzzle?

Solve:

Began Time ⇒ 7:50 p.m

End Time ⇒ 8: 34 p.m

Since they are both p.m we could just subtract 8:34 by 7:50.

But first we know that:

8: 34 the 34 can't be subtracted by 7:50 the 50.

Thus we know that:

1 Hour = 60 minutes

Hence,

changing 8:34 p.m from 1 hour to 60 minutes. Which given us 7:94.

Then,

7:94 - 7:50

= 44

Hence, Michelle work on the puzzle for 44 minutes.
