Using math to fine 9:20 am to 5:05 pm
12:00 = 11:60
11:60 - 9:20 = 2:40 so 2:40 from 9:20 to noon
add 5:05 now
2:40 + 5:05 = 7:45 hours from 9:20 am to 5:05 pm
To compute the duration between 9:20 am and 5:05 pm, we first need to convert both times to a common unit, such as minutes. Then we can subtract the starting time from the ending time to find the duration.
1. Convert the starting time, 9:20 am, into minutes:
- There are 60 minutes in an hour.
- Since 9 am is the same as 9 * 60 minutes = 540 minutes, add 20 minutes to get the total minutes: 540 + 20 = 560 minutes.
2. Convert the ending time, 5:05 pm, into minutes:
- There are 60 minutes in an hour.
- Since 5 pm is the same as 5 * 60 minutes = 300 minutes, add 5 minutes to get the total minutes: 300 + 5 = 305 minutes.
3. Calculate the duration by subtracting the starting time from the ending time:
- Duration = Ending time - Starting time = 305 minutes - 560 minutes = -255 minutes.
The result of -255 minutes indicates that the ending time is earlier than the starting time. If you are looking for the duration from 9:20 am to 5:05 pm on the same day, the resulting negative duration implies that you crossed over to the next day.
