Let’s solve each part step by step.

Part a: Start Time = 11:56 am, End Time = 1:20 pm

We need to find how much time passed between 11:56 am and 1:20 pm.

Step 1: From 11:56 am to 12:00 pm is 4 minutes.
(Count up: 57, 58, 59, 60 → that’s 4 minutes)

Step 2: From 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm is 1 hour.

Step 3: From 1:00 pm to 1:20 pm is 20 minutes.

Now add them all together:
- 4 minutes + 1 hour + 20 minutes = 1 hour and 24 minutes

✔ So elapsed time for part a is 1 hour and 24 minutes

Part b: Start Time = 6:15 pm, End Time = 9:10 pm

Step 1: From 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm is 1 hour
Step 2: From 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm is another 1 hour
Step 3: From 8:15 pm to 9:15 pm would be another hour — but we only go to 9:10 pm, so stop at 9:10.

So from 8:15 pm to 9:10 pm is 55 minutes (because 9:10 is 5 minutes before 9:15, so 60 - 5 = 55 minutes).

Wait — let’s double-check that:

From 8:15 to 9:00 is 45 minutes.
From 9:00 to 9:10 is 10 minutes.
So 45 + 10 = 55 minutes ✔

Total time:
- 1 hour (6:15–7:15)
- + 1 hour (7:15–8:15)
- + 55 minutes (8:15–9:10)
= 2 hours and 55 minutes

✔ So elapsed time for part b is 2 hours and 55 minutes

Final Answer:
a. 1 hour and 24 minutes
b. 2 hours and 55 minutes
