Answer 2

Answer:

1.92 hours

or

1 hour and 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an example where the start minutes are greater than the end minutes – 8:55am to 3:42pm

Convert both times to 24 hour format, adding 12 to any pm hours

8:55am becomes 8:55 hours (start time)

3:42pm becomes 15:42 hours (end time) <- 12 added

If the start minutes are greater than the end minutes…

Subtract 1 hour from the end time hours – 15:42 becomes 14:42

Add 60 minutes to the end minutes – 14:42 becomes 14:102
