Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1:
Josh started cooking at
2:00 (clock shows hour hand on 2, minute hand on 12).
Josh ate lunch at
3:00 (hour hand on 3, minute hand on 12).
From 2:00 to 3:00 is
1 hour.
✔ Time passed:
1 hour

Problem 2:
Bob went to the store at
8:00 (hour hand on 8, minute hand on 12).
Bob got home at
11:00 (hour hand on 11, minute hand on 12).
From 8:00 to 11:00 → count: 9, 10, 11 → that’s
3 hours.
✔ Time passed:
3 hours

Problem 3:
Ken went to bed at
9:00 (hour hand on 9, minute hand on 12).
Ken woke up at
6:00 (hour hand on 6, minute hand on 12).
Wait — this goes from night to morning! So we can’t just subtract 9 - 6.
From 9:00 PM to midnight (12:00 AM) =
3 hours
From midnight (12:00 AM) to 6:00 AM =
6 hours
Total = 3 + 6 =
9 hours
✔ Time passed:
9 hours

Final Answer:
1) 1 hour

3) 9 hours
