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"

I tried this:

Explanation:

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

Total:

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

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
