Answer sheet

1. 7:15 am — am times are between midnight and midday, so 7:15 am is in the morning.
2. 4:15 pm — 3:40 pm to 4:00 pm is 20 minutes. 35 − 20 = 15 more minutes takes you to 4:15 pm.
3. 120 — Each hour has 60 minutes, so 2 hours is 2 × 60 = 120 minutes.
4. 1 hour 45 minutes — 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm is 1 hour 30 minutes. 3:00 pm to 3:15 pm is 15 more minutes. Total: 1 hour 45 minutes.
5. 30 minutes — 10:50 am to 11:00 am is 10 minutes, and 11:00 am to 11:20 am is 20 minutes. 10 + 20 = 30 minutes.
6. 60 — There are 60 seconds in every minute.
7. 2 hours — The minutes are the same (25), and 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock is 2 hours.
8. 6:15 pm — 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm is 30 minutes. 45 − 30 = 15 more minutes takes you to 6:15 pm.
