Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Calculating the amount of time that passes between a start time and an end time.
Imagine a movie starts at 2:15 PM and ends at 4:45 PM. Elapsed time is like counting how many minutes the movie lasted—you hop forward from the start time to the end time.
