What is the time difference between 2:30 PM and 4:15 PM?
Correct Answer: 1 hour 45 minutes
Step 1: Identify the two times you are comparing: 2:30 PM and 4:15 PM.
Step 2: Break down the times into hours and minutes. 2:30 PM has 2 hours and 30 minutes, and 4:15 PM has 4 hours and 15 minutes.
Step 3: Calculate the difference in hours. From 2 PM to 4 PM is 2 hours.
Step 4: Now, calculate the difference in minutes. From 30 minutes to 15 minutes, you need to go back 15 minutes, which means you have to subtract 15 minutes from the 2 hours.
Step 5: Combine the hours and minutes. You have 1 hour (after subtracting 15 minutes from 2 hours) and 45 minutes left.
Step 6: Therefore, the total time difference is 1 hour and 45 minutes.
