Let's solve each of the
adding and subtracting time problems step by step.
---
Problem 1:
11 hr 34 min
+
5 hr 30 min
Add hours and minutes separately:
- Hours: 11 + 5 =
16 hr
- Minutes: 34 + 30 =
64 min
But 64 minutes is more than 60, so convert:
- 64 min = 1 hr 4 min
- Add 1 hour to total hours: 16 + 1 =
17 hr
- Remaining minutes:
4 min
✔ Answer: 17 hr 4 min
---
Problem 2:
09 hr 40 min
−
03 hr 45 min
We can't subtract 45 min from 40 min, so borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from 9 hr:
- 9 hr becomes
8 hr
- 40 min becomes
40 + 60 = 100 min
Now subtract:
- Hours: 8 − 3 =
5 hr
- Minutes: 100 − 45 =
55 min
✔ Answer: 5 hr 55 min

Problem 3:
12 hr 55 min
−
10 hr 05 min
Subtract directly:
- Hours: 12 − 10 =
2 hr
- Minutes: 55 − 5 =
50 min
✔ Answer: 2 hr 50 min
---
Problem 4:
17 hr 17 min
−
2 hr 5 min
Subtract:
- Hours: 17 − 2 =
15 hr
- Minutes: 17 − 5 =
12 min
✔ Answer: 15 hr 12 min
---
Problem 5:
7 hr 48 min
+
3 hr 40 min
Add:
- Hours: 7 + 3 =
10 hr
- Minutes: 48 + 40 =
88 min
Convert 88 min:
- 88 min = 1 hr 28 min
- Add 1 hour: 10 + 1 =
11 hr
- Remaining minutes:
28 min
✔ Answer: 11 hr 28 min
---
Problem 6:
9 hr 20 min
−
5 hr 15 min
Subtract:
- Hours: 9 − 5 =
4 hr
- Minutes: 20 − 15 =
5 min
✔ Answer: 4 hr 5 min
---
Problem 7:
2 hr 59 min
−
1 hr 20 min
Subtract:
- Hours: 2 − 1 =
1 hr
- Minutes: 59 − 20 =
39 min
✔ Answer: 1 hr 39 min
---
Problem 8:
19 hr 33 min
+
8 hr 8 min
Add:
- Hours: 19 + 8 =
27 hr
- Minutes: 33 + 8 =
41 min
✔ Answer: 27 hr 41 min
> Note: This is over a full day (24 hrs), but since no conversion to days was asked, we leave it as is.
