How do you get the correct answer for this problem? 1:57p.m.-10.53a.m. I must be able to show how .?

Answer 1

Time math can be interesting... first, always convert the times to 24 hours:

13:57 - 10:53

Now it's just like math... 13-10 for hours, and 57-53 for minutes

3:04 am or 3 hours and 4 minutes, depending on your frame of reference.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

a very good way of answering questions about time is to use the 24-hour time scale or populary known as the MILITARY TIME where instead of writing 1 o'clock PM, it is written 1300 H, 2 o'clock = 1400, 3 o'clock = 1500 and so on...

thus, your time problem 1:57 PM can be written as 1357, which will be easier to subtract now.

1357 - 1053 = 304 or 3 hours and 4 minutes.

although unconventional but this alternative probably can help you.


oh, i'm sorry i miised the question! is it 1:57 PM to 10:53 AM?
anyway, you can still use the 24-hour method.

1:57 PM to the following day's 1:57 PM is 24 hours, right?
since we computed 3 hours and 4 minutes from 10:53 AM to 1:53 PM, then we could just subtract 3:04 from 24 hours.

24 Hours can be written as 23:60 - 3:04 = 23:56.
hence, it is 13 hours and 56 minutes from 1:57 PM to 10:53 AM

Answer 3

1:57 is almost 2 PM ( keep the 3 minutes to add later)
2PM to midnight is 10 hours
midnight to 10:53 is 10hours and 53 minutes.
Now add 3 minutes + 10 hours + 10 hours and 53 minutes.
20 hours and 55 minutes

Answer 4

think 1:57pm as 13(57/60)hours
and 10:53am as 10(53/60)hours
then subtract

Answer 5

1:57p.m.-10.53a.m.
= 13.57 - 10.53
10.53 --> 13.57
= 3.04
= 3hours 4 minutes

Answer 6

20 hours and 56 minutes:

Since 1p.m.-1a.m.=12, add 8 hrs. and 56 mins. to it.

Answer 7

1.57 p.m=13.57 hrs
10.53 a.m=10.53 hrs
subtracting
=3.04 hours
