Answer 2

Answer:

the duration of time in hours and minutes between 5 o' clock and half past 9​ is 3 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the difference between the two times, we need to convert them to 24 hour system.

We do this by adding 12 hours to each time.

Doing that we have:

5.00 + 12.00 = 1700 hours

9.30 + 12.00 = 2130 hours

Now that we have the two times written in 24 hour system, we can comfortably get the difference.

We have:

2130 - 1700 = 3 hours 30 minutes

The duration of time in hours and minutes between the two times is 3 hours 30 minutes.
