Question

Scribe two different methods to find the elapsed time from 2:30 p.m. to 2:58 p.m.

Answer 1

Answer:

28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First Method

You can do normal subtract

$2.58 \\ 2.30 \\ 0.28$

2:58 - 2:30 which is equivalent to 0.28 which means 28 minutes.

Second Method.

2:58

58minutes to hour = 58/60

2:30

30minutes to hour = 30/60

58/60 - 30/60

28/60 hour

0.4667 hour or 28 minutes.
