Elapsed time, step by step
Reading a clock and using one are different skills.
The question
4:05 to 4:30
- From 4:05 to 4:30. Count FORWARDS rather than taking one from the other — then nothing has to be borrowed and the hour never bites.
- It all sits inside the one hour, so there is nothing to cross: 25 minutes straight through to 4:30.
- Add the hops up: 25 — that is 25 minutes.
