Answer :
Final answer:
To find the time remaining after subtracting 6 hours and 52 minutes from the total time from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, we first calculate the total interval as 11 hours 30 minutes, then subtract the hours and minutes separately to arrive at the remaining time of 11 hours 38 minutes. Therefore the correct answer is: A).
Explanation:
The question requires us to subtract the given time interval of 6 hours and 52 minutes from the total time from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. To solve this, first, we calculate the total time from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, which is 11 hours and 30 minutes. Then, we subtract 6 hours and 52 minutes from this total.
Total time from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM: 11 hours 30 minutes
Time interval to subtract: 6 hours 52 minutes
Subtracting the time interval:
Subtract the hours: 11 hours - 6 hours = 5 hours
To subtract the minutes, we need to borrow 1 hour (which is 60 minutes) from the 5 hours we have because you cannot subtract 52 minutes from 30 minutes directly. So now we have 4 hours and (30+60) minutes.
Now subtract the minutes: 90 minutes - 52 minutes = 38 minutes
Combine the hours and minutes for the final answer: 4 hours + 38 minutes
The result is 11 hours 38 minutes (Option A).
