Question

The movie starts at 3:15p.m and ends at 5:08 p.m how long is the movie?

Answer 1

`color(chocolate)(5:08 - 3;15 = 1 Hr : 53 " Min"`

Explanation:

`5:08 p.m - 3:15 p.m`

`"one hour = 60 minutes"`

`:. 5:08 = 5 * 60 + 08 = 308 min`

`3:15 = 3 * 60 * 15 = 195 min"`

`5:08 - 3;15 = 308 - 195 = 113 min`

`=> 113 / 60 = 1 Hr : 53 " Min"`

Answer 2

The movie is `1 "hr" 53 "mins"`

Explanation:

`3:15-4:15` is `1` hour

`4:15-5:08` is `53` minutes

Answer 3

I tried this:

Explanation:

We get:
from: `3:15` to `4:00` elapsed: `45`min
from: `4:00` to `5:00` elapsed: `60`min
from: `5:00` to `5:08` elapsed: `8`min

Total:

`45+60+8=113`min or `1`hour and `53`min

Answer 4

1 hour 53 minutes

Explanation:

Start time 3:15p.m (15 minutes after 3pm)
End time 5:08 p.m (8 minutes after 5pm)

Subtract the start time from the end time to find the time elapsed.
`5:08"pm" - 3:15"pm"`

Both times are "pm" (afternoon) so we don't need to account for hours changing back to 1 after 12

Subtract minutes first...
`08 - 15 = -7`

It's not useful to have negative time, so convert 1 of the end time hours to minutes and try again.

1 hour = 60 minutes, so add 60 to 08 and subtract 1 from 5

End time 5:08 becomes 4:68pm
(68 minutes after 4pm is 8 minutes after 5pm).

Subtract minutes...
`68 - 15 = 53` so minutes elapsed = 53

Then hours...
`4 - 3 = 1` so hours elapsed = 1

Total time elapsed = 1 hour 53 minutes
