Question

1. write the start and end times shown on the clocks. then use the open number line to find the time interval. start (a.m.) end (a.m.) ____ a.m. ____ a.m.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine Start Time

The start clock: hour hand is between 1 and 2, minute hand at 20 (since 45=20), so start time is 1:20 a.m. (note: the handwritten 1:21 might be a typo; correct is 1:20 as minute hand on 4, 45=20).

Step2: Determine End Time

The end clock: hour hand between 3 and 4, minute hand at 8 (15 + 3? Wait, no: minute hand on 1 and 2? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: let's see, the end clock's minute hand is on the 8th minute? Wait, no, the end clock: hour hand at 3, minute hand at 8? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: the clock has 12 numbers, each 5 minutes. So minute hand on 1 (5 min) and 2 (10 min)? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: looking at the image, the end clock's minute hand is on the 8th minute? Wait, no, the correct way: end clock: hour hand is at 3 (since it's between 3 and 4), minute hand: each number is 5 minutes. The minute hand is on the 8th minute? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: let's count. From 12, each mark is 1 minute? No, standard clock: each number is 5 minutes. So minute hand on 1 (5 min) and 3? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: the image shows the end clock's minute hand at 8? Wait, no, the handwritten is 3:08, but let's recheck. Wait, the start clock: hour 1, minute 45=20 (so 1:20). End clock: hour 3, minute 8? Wait, no, the minute hand on the end clock: the clock has minute marks. Wait, maybe the start time is 1:20 a.m., end time is 3:08 a.m. Then calculate the interval.

Step3: Calculate Time Interval

From 1:20 to 3:08. First, from 1:20 to 3:20 is 2 hours (120 minutes), but we end at 3:08, so subtract 12 minutes (20 - 8 = 12). So 120 - 12 = 108 minutes? Wait, no: 1:20 to 2:20 is 1 hour (60 min), 2:20 to 3:08 is 48 minutes (60 - 20 + 8 = 48). So total 60 + 48 = 108 minutes, or 1 hour and 48 minutes. Wait, let's do it step by step. 1:20 to 2:20 is 60 minutes. 2:20 to 3:00 is 40 minutes. 3:00 to 3:08 is 8 minutes. Total: 60 + 40 + 8 = 108 minutes, which is 1 hour and 48 minutes.

But first, correct start and end times:

Start time: hour 1, minute 4 (4*5=20) → 1:20 a.m.

End time: hour 3, minute 8? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: the image shows the end clock's minute hand on the 8th minute? Wait, the end clock's minute hand: if it's on the 8th minute, then 3:08. So from 1:20 to 3:08:

Hours: 3 - 1 = 2 hours.

Minutes: 08 - 20 = negative, so borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from the 2 hours. So 2 hours = 1 hour + 60 minutes. Now, minutes: 08 + 60 - 20 = 48 minutes. Hours: 1 hour. So total 1 hour 48 minutes, or 108 minutes.

Wait, but maybe the start time was miswritten. Let's confirm the clocks:

Start clock: hour hand at 1, minute hand at 4 (4*5=20) → 1:20.

End clock: hour hand at 3, minute hand at 8 (since minute hand is on 8th minute? Or is the minute hand on the 1 and 3? Wait, no, the end clock's minute hand: the image shows the minute hand between 1 and 2? No, the end clock's minute hand: looking at the image, the end clock's minute hand is at 8? Maybe the handwritten 3:08 is correct. So start 1:20, end 3:08.

Calculation:

3:08 - 1:20 = (360 + 8) - (160 + 20) = 188 - 80 = 108 minutes = 1 hour 48 minutes.

Answer:

Start time: 1:20 a.m., End time: 3:08 a.m., Time interval: 1 hour 48 minutes (or 108 minutes)
