Explanation:
We need to find how much time passed between a start time and an end time — that’s called *elapsed time*. To do this, subtract the start time from the end time. When working with times, it’s easiest to break it into minutes and hours.
Let’s solve each problem one by one:
1.
Recess: started at 11:12 am, ended at 11:44 am
- Same hour (11), so just subtract minutes:
44 − 12 =
32 minutes
2.
Assembly: started at 3:02 pm, ended at 3:58 pm
- Same hour (3), subtract minutes:
58 − 2 =
56 minutes
3.
Soccer practice: started at 8:35 am, ended at 9:50 am
- From 8:35 to 9:00 is 25 minutes
- From 9:00 to 9:50 is 50 minutes
- Total: 25 + 50 =
1 hour 15 minutes
(Or: 9:50 − 8:35 = 1 hour 15 min)
4.
Lunch: started at 12:00 pm, ended at 1:05 pm
- From 12:00 to 1:00 = 1 hour
- From 1:00 to 1:05 = 5 minutes
- Total:
1 hour 5 minutes
5.
Movies: met at 6:45 pm, picked up at 8:15 pm
- From 6:45 to 7:00 = 15 minutes
- From 7:00 to 8:00 = 1 hour
- From 8:00 to 8:15 = 15 minutes
- Total: 15 + 60 + 15 =
1 hour 30 minutes
6.
Exercise video: started at 1:37 pm, ended at 2:20 pm
- From 1:37 to 2:00 = 23 minutes
- From 2:00 to 2:20 = 20 minutes
- Total: 23 + 20 =
43 minutes
Let me double-check each:
1. 11:44 − 11:12 = 32 ✔️
2. 3:58 − 3:02 = 56 ✔️
3. 9:50 − 8:35 = 1h15m ✔️
4. 1:05 − 12:00 = 1h5m ✔️
5. 8:15 − 6:45 = 1h30m ✔️
6. 2:20 − 1:37 = 43 min ✔️
All correct.
Final Answer:
1. 32 minutes
2. 56 minutes
3. 1 hour 15 minutes
4. 1 hour 5 minutes
5. 1 hour 30 minutes
6. 43 minutes
