Time Calculations
Time calculations involve determining the duration between two points in time. This can be measured in hours, minutes, or seconds.
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- 1 hour = 3,600 seconds
Time Formulas
Here are the key formulas for time calculations:
- Total Hours = (End Time - Start Time) in hours
- Total Minutes = Total Hours × 60
- Total Seconds = Total Hours × 3600
Practical Examples
Example 1 Basic Time Difference
Calculate the hours between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Hours = 14:00 - 9:00 = 5 hours
Example 2 Minutes Calculation
Calculate the minutes between 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM.
Hours = 2.75 - 1.5 = 1.25 hours
Minutes = 1.25 × 60 = 75 minutes
Example 3 Complex Time Calculation
Calculate the time span between 11:30 PM and 2:15 AM (next day).
Hours = 26.25 - 23.5 = 2.75 hours
Minutes = 2.75 × 60 = 165 minutes
Seconds = 2.75 × 3600 = 9,900 seconds
