Students solve elapsed-time word problems requiring precise minute reading. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about a 25-minute reading session starting at 4:35, a bus ride from 7:48 to 8:23, and identifying which clock shows 10:42. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems including a 35-minute lunch period and class durations calculated from start and end times.
Precise elapsed-time reasoning with non-round-number times is the core challenge of this sheet.
