How much time is in 1:12 to 8:11? Elapsed time
My guess 7hr 59min
I need some help please I have been stuck on this question for a while.
it is 6 hrs and 59 mins
because you don't count 1 the first hour when counting differences
Thank you
To find the elapsed time from 1:12 to 8:11, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the elapsed hours:
Subtract the starting hour (1) from the ending hour (8). In this case, 8 - 1 = 7 hours.
Step 2: Determine the elapsed minutes:
Subtract the starting minutes (12) from the ending minutes (11). Since 11 is less than 12, it means we need to borrow 1 hour from the elapsed hours. Thus, the adjusted ending time becomes 7:71 (since 71 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour and 11 minutes).
Step 3: Final calculation:
Add the borrowed hour to the previously calculated elapsed hours. 7 (original hours) + 1 (borrowed hour) = 8 hours.
So, the elapsed time is 8 hours and 71 minutes, which can be converted to 9 hours and 11 minutes (since 60 minutes equals 1 hour).
Therefore, the final elapsed time from 1:12 to 8:11 is 9 hours and 11 minutes.
