Time: Problem Solving: Using a Model

Here we get into more complex real life word problems involving time.
This requires a bit of thinking and understanding about subtracting time.

Listen carefully while I read the problem.

 

Bill begins his math homework at 7:30.
He finishes his work at 8:30.

How much time has passed?

Before choosing an answer, draw the hands on the left clock to show the time he began his work. Then draw hands on the other clock to show when he ended working.  Look at both clocks to figure out how much time passed from beginning to end.
