What's the time difference between 8:30 AM and 12:00 noon?
12 - 9 = 3 hours
So -- 12:00 - 8:30 = 3 1/2 hours
thanks
To calculate the time difference between 8:30 AM and 12:00 noon, we need to subtract the start time from the end time.
First, let's convert both times to the same format, either 12-hour or 24-hour format, for consistency. In this case, both times are already in the 12-hour format.
Next, let's convert 12:00 noon to its numerical representation, which is 12:00 PM.
Now, we can subtract the start time (8:30 AM) from the end time (12:00 PM).
To subtract time, we consider the hours and minutes separately.
For the hours:
12 PM (noon) - 8 AM = 4 hours
For the minutes:
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
60 minutes - 30 minutes = 30 minutes
Therefore, the time difference between 8:30 AM and 12:00 noon is 4 hours and 30 minutes.
