Answer:
42 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 60 minutes in one hour.
from 12 pm, 1 hour and 35 minutes have passed to get to 1:35 pm
from 12 pm, 2 hours and 17 minutes have passed to get to 2:17 pm
we are trying to figure out the start to end time, or the difference between the times
2 hours and 17 minutes - 1 hour and 35 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
if we convert everything to minutes we can get a definitive time in one single unit
2 hours = 1 hour * 2 = 60 minutes * 2 = 120 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
plug these in
(120 + 17) minutes - (60 + 35) minutes
= 137 minutes - 95 minutes
= 42 minutes as our answer
