Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given:
- Start time: 9:30 A.M.
- End time: 10:35 A.M.
We need to find how much time passed between these two times — that’s called “elapsed time.”
Step 1: From 9:30 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. is 30 minutes.
(You can count on the number line: from 9:30 to 10:00 is half an hour.)
Step 2: From 10:00 A.M. to 10:35 A.M. is 35 minutes.
Step 3: Add those together:
30 minutes + 35 minutes = 65 minutes.
But 65 minutes is more than an hour! We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour.
So, 65 minutes = 1 hour and 5 minutes.
That means the elapsed time is
1 hour and 5 minutes.
Final Answer:
1 hour 5 minutes
