Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. If lunch starts at 11:50 AM and lasts 35 minutes, it ends at 12:25 PM.
11:50 + 35 minutes = 12:25. Adding 10 minutes reaches 12:00, then 25 more minutes makes 12:25.
2. From 9:37 to 10:07, 30 minutes have passed.
9:37 to 10:07 = 30 minutes.
3. A class starts at 1:22 PM and ends at 2:07 PM. The class lasts 45 minutes.
1:22 to 2:07 = 45 minutes. From 1:22 to 2:22 is 60 minutes, minus 15 minutes = 45 minutes.
4. If it is 6:53 PM now and dinner was 28 minutes ago, dinner started at 6:25 PM.
6:53 − 28 minutes = 6:25.
5. From 3:18 to 3:46, 28 minutes have passed.
3:46 − 3:18 = 28 minutes.
