Problem 1: How long is it from 10 o’clock to 1 o’clock?
- From 10:00 to 11:00 → 1 hour
- From 11:00 to 12:00 → 1 hour
- From 12:00 to 1:00 → 1 hour
✔ Answer: 3 hours

Problem 2: How long is it from 9 o’clock to 2 o’clock?
- From 9:00 to 10:00 → 1 hour
- From 10:00 to 11:00 → 1 hour
- From 11:00 to 12:00 → 1 hour
- From 12:00 to 1:00 → 1 hour
- From 1:00 to 2:00 → 1 hour
✔ Answer: 5 hours
*(Note: We assume this is all in the same part of the day — e.g., 9 AM to 2 PM — unless otherwise stated.)*

Problem 3: Alex got on a bus at 4 o’clock. The journey took half an hour. What time did he get off the bus?
- Start time: 4:00
- Add 30 minutes (half an hour)
→ 4:00 + 30 min =
4:30
✔ Answer: 4:30

Problem 4: Julie went to play football at 3:30. She played for half an hour. What time did she finish?
- Start time: 3:30
- Add 30 minutes
→ 3:30 + 30 min =
4:00
✔ Answer: 4:00

Problem 5: Gary started the test at 9:30. He finished at 9:45. How long did it take him?
- Start: 9:30
- End: 9:45
→ 9:45 - 9:30 =
15 minutes
✔ Answer: 15 minutes

Problem 6: Luke started running at 3:45. He stopped at 4:15. How long did he run for?
- Start: 3:45
- End: 4:15
We can break this down:
- From 3:45 to 4:00 = 15 minutes
- From 4:00 to 4:15 = 15 minutes
Total = 15 + 15 =
30 minutes
✔ Answer: 30 minutes

Problem 7: Linda put the roast dinner in the oven at 11:30. It was ready at 1:00. How long did it take to cook?
- Start: 11:30
- End: 1:00
Break it down:
- From 11:30 to 12:00 = 30 minutes
- From 12:00 to 1:00 = 1 hour (or 60 minutes)
Total = 30 min + 60 min =
90 minutes, or
1 hour and 30 minutes
✔ Answer: 1 hour and 30 minutes (or 90 minutes)
