A meeting started at 10:35 a.m. and ended at 3:15 p.m. of the same day. how long was the meeting?
To find the duration of the meeting, we need to calculate the time elapsed between 10:35 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
First, let's convert the time to a 24-hour format for easier calculation.
10:35 a.m. = 10:35
3:15 p.m. = 15:15
Next, we subtract the start time from the end time:
15:15 - 10:35 = 4 hours and 40 minutes
Therefore, the meeting lasted for 4 hours and 40 minutes.
To calculate the duration of the meeting, you need to subtract the start time from the end time.
Step 1: Convert the start and end times to minutes.
- Start time: 10:35 a.m. can be converted to 10 * 60 + 35 = 635 minutes.
- End time: 3:15 p.m. can be converted to 15 * 60 + 15 = 915 minutes.
Step 2: Subtract the start time from the end time.
915 minutes - 635 minutes = 280 minutes.
Therefore, the duration of the meeting is 280 minutes.
