</span>
gallons per hour.
<span>
Next, we are going to divide the half tank of fuel by our engine consumption per hour:
Since the full tank is 400 gallons, half tank will be 200 gallons.
</span>
hours
<span>
We can conclude that the boat will run for 10.5 hours </span><span>at 342 horsepower on a half tank of fuel.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:
First Method
You can do normal subtract
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.
