if a train depart at 2:00 p.m and arrives at 4:00 p.m. how long were passengers on the train for

Four minus two and you get your answer. It's pretty easy to find.

Or you can convert to military time.

To calculate how long passengers were on the train, we subtract the departure time from the arrival time.

Departure time: 2:00 p.m.
Arrival time: 4:00 p.m.

To find the difference, let's convert these times to a 24-hour format for easier calculation.

Departure time: 2:00 p.m. = 14:00
Arrival time: 4:00 p.m. = 16:00

Now, subtract the departure time from the arrival time:

16:00 - 14:00 = 2 hours

Therefore, passengers were on the train for 2 hours.

To find how long passengers were on the train, we need to calculate the difference between the departure time and the arrival time.

In this case, the train departed at 2:00 p.m. and arrived at 4:00 p.m. To determine the duration, subtract the departure time from the arrival time.

4:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. = 2 hours

Therefore, passengers were on the train for 2 hours.
