Question

find the amount of elapsed time between the pair. 3:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. select one of four 21 hours 45 minutes 18 hours 30 minutes 22 hours 15 minutes 20 hours 59 minutes remaining attempts: 1

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 11:59 P.M. to 24-hour format

11:59 P.M. in 24-hour format is \( 23:59 \) (since 12 P.M. is 12:00, so 11 P.M. + 12 hours = 23:00, then +59 minutes = 23:59).

Step2: Subtract the start time (3:00 A.M. or 03:00 in 24-hour format) from the end time (23:59)

First, calculate the minutes: \( 59 - 0 = 59 \) minutes.
Then, calculate the hours: \( 23 - 3 = 20 \) hours.
So the elapsed time is 20 hours 59 minutes.

Answer:

20 hours 59 minutes
