Part B: Fill in the Missing Time
Write the missing time on the line.
1. School starts at 8:00. It ends 3 hours later at 11:00.
8:00 + 3 hours = 11:00.
2. The movie starts at 2:00 and ends at 4:00. The movie is 2 hours long.
4:00 minus 2:00 = 2 hours.
3. It is 6:30 now. In 1 hour it will be 7:30.
6:30 + 1 hour = 7:30.
4. Sam went to bed at 8:00. He woke up at 7:00 the next morning. He slept for 11 hours.
From 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM is 11 hours (8 PM to midnight = 4 hours, midnight to 7 AM = 7 hours, 4 + 7 = 11).
