Question

true or false: if you work from 1:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., you worked 7 hours 45 minutes.
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate time difference

Subtract start time (1:30 a.m.) from end time (9:15 a.m.).
Hours: \(9 - 1 = 8\) hours, but adjust for minutes.
Minutes: \(15 - 30\) is negative, so borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from hours: \(8 - 1 = 7\) hours, \(15 + 60 = 75\) minutes.
Now, minutes difference: \(75 - 30 = 45\) minutes.
Hours difference: \(7\) hours.
Total time: \(7\) hours \(45\) minutes.

Step2: Compare with given time

Given time is 7 hours 45 minutes, which matches the calculation.

Answer:

True
