Question

Ankur left home at 8 clock in morning and returned home at 5:30 evening ? How to calculate time

Answer 1

Answer:

9 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two steps i follow.

1. As it is 5:30 in the "evening", add 12 hours to it to convert it into 24 hour time format. Now it will be 17:30(17:30 pm and 5:30 pm are same).

Now you can calculate: 17-8 = 9 hours, 30-0 = 30 minutes . So he returned after 9 hours 30 minutes.

2. You can calculate with each hour. Like:

  8 am - 9 am ---> 1 hour

  9 am - 10 am ---> 1 hour

  10 am - 11 am ---> 1 hour  

  11 am - 12 noon ---> 1 hour

  12 pm - 1 pm ---> 1 hour

  1 pm - 2 pm ---> 1 hour

    2 pm - 3 pm ---> 1 hour

 3 pm - 4 pm ---> 1 hour

  4 pm - 5 pm ---> 1 hour

   5 pm - 5:30 pm ---> 1/2 hour or 30 minutes.

  Now add all these : 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour + 30 minutes = 9 hours 30 minutes

Hope you got it.
