Question

jareline and jackie went to brunch at 1145am. if they left the restaurant at 112pm how long did they spend at the restaurant

Answer 1

It would be 1 hr and 27 mins 

Answer 2

In this case, we need to count up by hours and minutes. 

Simple, in my opinion.

So, 11:45 to 1:12

12:45 is one hour. Now, 1:00 is another 15 minutes, so we now have 1 hour and 15 minutes.

And then, it is another 12 minutes from 1:00 to 1:12.

15 + 12 = 27

They spent 1 hour and 27 minutes at the restaurant.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
