Examples of Time Measurement

1. If Abdul started working on the computer at 11 in the morning and finished his work at 3:30 in the afternoon, how long did he work?
Method 1: From 11 in the morning to 12 noon, it is 1 hour. From 12 noon to 3:30 in the afternoon, it is 3 hours and 30 minutes. Therefore, the total time is 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Method 2: According to the 24-hour clock, 11 o'clock in the morning is 11:00, and 3:30 in the afternoon is 15:30

75 min = 1 hour 15 min

3. Subtract: 5 hr 30 min – 2 hr 45 min
45 minutes cannot be subtracted from 30 minutes.
Therefore, we borrow 1 hour and convert it into 60 minutes for the subtraction.

       Hr Min
           4 60+30
         `\cancel(5)` 
       – 2
 30

         2   45
