This math topic focuses on calculating elapsed time between two given clock times, primarily focusing on determining how many minutes earlier the second clock shows compared to the first. This involves basic subtraction skills and an understanding of time conversion, honing in on recognizing differences in time measured in full hours. Each question provides a scenario comparing two times and asks how many minutes earlier the second time is, offering multiple-choice answers. This forms the introductory component of a broader educational unit on negative elapsed times.
