Let\u2019s explore the meaning of elapsed time and more. Let\u2019s dive in right away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"0-definition-of-elapsed-time\">Definition of Elapsed Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Elapse is a verb of time that means \u201cpass,\u201d and time, on the other hand, is a measurable duration in which an event occurs. So, the time taken by an event to occur between the start of the time and the end of the time is called elapsed time. In simple terms, it is the difference between the two given times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Some examples of how we use time elapsed in our daily lives:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The time taken to cook a recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The duration of a movie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li

Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The duration of time elapsed between an event means the difference between the two given times. Before we talk about the duration of time, remember there are two formats to write the time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">12-hour format where we apply the suffixes a.m. and p.m. to the time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">24-hour format where the time runs from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s understand the different methods to calculate and solve elapsed time problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-elapsed-time-on-the-number-line\">Elapsed Time on the Number Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To calculate the duration of an event, it is easy to count up the hours using a number line. We can carry out the following steps to solve a time-elapsed problem on a number line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Divide the number line into equal intervals of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Mark the starting time and the end time on the number line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Draw an arrow to the nearest hour, and calculate the minutes to the nearest hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Count hours until you reach the hour before the final or end time. Then the minute from this hour to the final time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Add up all the time to find the final answer.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s understand more about this by solving a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example: What is the amount of time elapsed between 11:45 and 15:10?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Divide the number into equal time intervals and mark the starting and end time on it. We subtract the 45 minutes from 60 minutes to calculate the duration between 11:45 and the nearest hour, which is 12:00. There are 15 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Between 12:00 and 15:00, there are 3 hours in all. And from 15:00 to 15:10, there are 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elapsed-time-3.png\" alt=\"Calculate elapsed time on a number line or timeline\" class=\"wp-image-13219\" title=\"Calculate elapsed time on a number line or timeline\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elapsed-time-3.png 621w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elapsed-time-3-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Add up the minutes and hours to find the total time elapsed.

This method is best when dealing with time in a 12-hour format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-subtracting-times\">Subtracting Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">As we covered earlier, the time elapsed between an activity means the difference between the two given times.
