This topic focuses on calculating the elapsed time in minutes between two given times, particularly assessing how much earlier the second time is compared to the first. The problems generally involve time increments of half hours. Each problem presents multiple possible answers, from which students need to choose the correct amount of elapsed time in minutes. This exercise helps students practice their skills in reading analog clocks and performing simple subtraction to find time differences.
