Math Problem Statement

If I started work at 7:30 and finished at 4:30 how many hrs did I do?

Solution

To calculate the total hours worked between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM:

  1. From 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM (noon) is 4 hours and 30 minutes.
  2. From 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM is 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Adding these together:

  • 4 hours and 30 minutes + 4 hours and 30 minutes = 9 hours total.

You worked for 9 hours.
