Tell what time it will be.
Question 1.
2 hours after 8:00 P.M. _____________
Answer: 10:00 P.M
Explanation:
By using a timeline we can calculate elapsed time:
2 hours after 8:00 PM means if we add 8 and 2 then we get 8+2=10 hours.
1. The start time and end times are labelled on an end of a timeline.
2. Between 8:00 and 10:00 are the hours of 9:00, which are marked on the timeline.
3. Between 8:00 and 10:00 there are 2 hours.
Question 2.
3 hours before 6:40 A.M. ______________
Answer: 3:40 hours
Explanation:
1. Calculating the elapsed time means finding the difference between two times.
2. To calculate the elapsed time, it is easiest to count up in hours.
3. Here asked 3 hours before the given time. So we need to subtract 6:40 And 3 hours then we get 6:40-3:00=3:40.
4. The elapsed time is 3 hours 40 minutes A.M.
Question 3.
30 minutes after 1:36 P.M. _______________
Answer: 2:01 P.M
Explanation:
1. The start time and end times are labelled on an end of a timeline.
2. Between 1:36 and 2:01 are the hours of 2:00, which are marked on the timeline.
3. We subtract the 36 minutes of 1:36 from the 60 minutes to get 24 minutes. There are 24 minutes from 1:36 pm and 2:00 pm.
4. Between 1:36 pm and 1:40 there are 4 minutes.
5. Between 1:40 pm and 2:00 pm there are 25 minutes.
6. We need to calculate for 30 minutes. And from 2:00 pm to 2:01 pm, there is 1 minute.
7. Now adding all the minutes, 4 +25+1=30.
8. Finally, 1:36 pm after 30 minutes are 2:01 pm.
Question 4.
45 minutes before 7:05 A.M. _____________
Answer:
Here given end time that is 7:05 AM. We need to calculate the start time.
Explanation:
1. Now I calculated the start time by using the given 45 minutes.
2. First I wrote 7:05 AM on the timeline as an end date. From there I started counting start times.
3. Then I take the earliest time to 7:05 AM that is 7:00 AM. Between both timings, there are 5 minutes.
4. And then I take 6:30 AM which is nearer to 7:00 AM. Between both timings, there are 30 minutes.
5. And we need to calculate for extra 10 minutes. From 6:30 to 6:20 there are 10 minutes so I took 6:20 AM.
6. Now add all the minutes 5+30+10=45 minutes.
7. The start time is 6:20 AM.
Question 5.
3 hours after 1 0:25 A.M. ______________
Answer: 1:25 PM
Explanation:
Explanation:
1. Now I calculated the end time.
2. I wrote the start time on the timeline that is 10:25 AM.
3. I subtracted the 25 minutes of 10:25 AM from the 60 minutes to get 35 minutes. There are 35 minutes from 10:25 am and 11:05 am.
4. Between 11:05 am and 12:05 pm there is 1 hour.
5. Between 12:05 to 1:05 PM there is 1 hour.
6. Between 1:05 Pm to 1:30 Pm there is 25 minutes.
7. add all the hours1 hour+1 hour=2 hours.
8. Now add minutes 35 min+25 min=60 min which is equal to 1 hour.
9. Finally, 3 hours. The 10:25 after 3 hours is 1:30 PM.
Question 6.
2 hours before 1:20 P.M. ______________
Answer:11:15 AM
Explanation:
1. Already given end time that is 1:20 PM. We need to calculate the start time means before 2 hours.
2. We subtracted 20 min of 1:20 PM from the 60 minutes to get 40 min. So we calculated the difference of 40 min we get the time of 12:35 PM.
3. We calculated for 20 min because from their 1 hour will be completed. So we had taken 12:15. From 12:15 to 12:35 there is 1 hour.
4. And from 12:15 Pm to 11:15 AM there is 1 hour.
5. Finally we calculated for 2 hours. The start time is 11:15 AM.

Question 7.
7:45 P.M. to 8:15 P.M. _____________
Answer: 30 minutes.
Explanation:
1. The start time and end times are labelled at the end of the timeline.
2. Between 7:45 PM and 8:15 PM are the hours of half an hour which is marked on the timeline.
3. We subtract the 45 min of 7:45 PM from the 60 min to get 15 min. There are 15 minutes from 7:45 PM to 8:00 PM.
4. From 8:00 PM to 8:15 PM there are 15 minutes.
5. We add the minutes together. 15+15=30 minutes.
6. The elapsed time is 30 minutes.
Question 8.
2:30 P.M. to 4:50 P.M. _______________
Answer: 2 hours 20 minutes.
Explanation:
1. The start time and end times are labelled at the end of the timeline.
2. Between 2:30 PM and 4:50 PM are the hours of 3:00 and 4:00 PM which are marked on the timeline.
3. We subtract 30 min of 2:30 from the 60 min to get 30 min. There are 30 minutes from 2:30 and 3:00 PM.
4. Between 3:00 and 4:00 there is 1 hour.
5. Between 4:00 and 4:50 there are 50 minutes.
6. Adding minutes together. 30+50=80. Such that, we already know, 1 hour=60 minute. So, we can say 80 minutes is nothing but 1 hour 20 minutes. (80-60=20)
7. Now by adding hours 1+1=2 hours.
8. Hence the resultant is 2 hour 20 minutes.

Question 15.
Devon started reading a book at 2:35 P.M. She took 3 hours 10 minutes to finish the book. What time did she finish reading the book?
Answer:5:45 PM
Starting time=2:35 PM
Ending time=X
The given time=3 h 10 min.
Explanation:
1. The start time is labelled on the timeline that is 2:35 PM
2. Subtract 35 minutes of 2:35 from 60 minutes to get 25 min. There is 25 min from 2:35 and 3:00 PM.
