Answer 1

The question as you wrote it doesn't fit the answers. However, one of the answers fits if you meant
"elapsed time from 5:34 to 10:11".

There are many ways to do this. Try first taking the time from 5:34 to 6:11, and after that finding the time from 6:11 to to 10:11.

In a way, 6:00 is the same thing as 5:60. Add 11 to that and you can see that 6:11 is the same as 5:71. Now that you have an easy way to find the time from 5:34 to 6:11.
6:11 - 5:34 isn't easy.
But 5:71 - 5:34 is quite easy. 71 - 34 is 37.

So, from 5:34 to 6:11 there are 37 minutes.

Now the easy part, finding the time from 6:11 to 10:11. Since the minutes are the same, just subtract the hours. 10 - 6 = 4 hours.

Now you have the hours and minutes, which number 4 hours and 37 minutes.
