Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Recess began at
11:12 am and ended at
11:44 am.
To find how long recess was, subtract the start time from the end time.
Since both times are in the same hour (11 am), we just subtract the minutes:
44 - 12 =
32 minutes
✔ So, recess lasted
32 minutes.

Problem 2:
Assembly started at
3:02 pm and ended at
3:58 pm.
Again, same hour — so subtract minutes:
58 - 2 =
56 minutes
✔ Assembly lasted
56 minutes.

Problem 3:
Soccer practice began at
8:35 am and ended at
9:50 am.
This crosses an hour, so let’s break it into two parts:
- From
8:35 am to 9:35 am → that’s exactly
1 hour.
- From
9:35 am to 9:50 am → that’s
15 minutes.
Add them together:
1 hour + 15 minutes =
1 hour and 15 minutes
✔ Soccer practice lasted
1 hour and 15 minutes.

Problem 4:
Lunch started at
12:00 pm and finished at
1:05 pm.
From 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm is
1 hour.
From 1:00 pm to 1:05 pm is
5 minutes.
Total: 1 hour + 5 minutes =
1 hour and 5 minutes
But wait — looking at the options given for Problem 4 in the image (even though not fully visible), if this were multiple choice, we’d pick “1 hour and 5 minutes”. However, since the user didn’t show full options for #4, and our focus is on solving what’s clear, we’ll note the answer as calculated.
But actually — rechecking the original image text you provided:
> 4. . Our lunch started at 12:00pm. We finished at 1:05pm. How long was our lunch?
No options shown for #4 in your text, but based on calculation:
✔ Lunch lasted
1 hour and 5 minutes

Now, matching with the multiple-choice answers shown in the image for Problems 1–3:
- Problem 1: Correct answer is
C) 32 minutes
- Problem 2: Correct answer is
B) 56 minutes
- Problem 3: Correct answer is
C) 1 hour and 15 minutes
---
Final Answer:
1. C
2. B
3. C
4. 1 hour and 5 minutes (if options were given, select accordingly)
