class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-what-is-subtracting-time\">What is Subtracting Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Subtracting time in math is the process of finding the difference between distinct units of time, such as hours, minutes, and seconds and then combining them. Subtracting time is slightly different from subtracting regular numbers since we need to consider time conversion. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute, 60 minutes in 1 hour, and 24 hours in a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-1.png\" alt=\"Time conversion\" class=\"wp-image-13695\" title=\"Time conversion\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-1-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There are numerous situations in our daily life where we apply the concept of <strong>time subtraction. <\/strong>For example, to calculate the duration of a journey or to find the course of a class. It is important to understand that the elapsed time or duration of an activity means the difference between two times (the start and the end time of the activity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We can <strong>subtract time <\/strong>using a simple procedure. The formula for time subtraction is very straightforward. We can start by subtracting the minutes and then advance to subtracting the hours to derive the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\"

The minutes at 9:00 are less than the minutes at 6:20. So we will use regrouping.

Each part is 12 hours long. The time in \u201ca.m.\u201d represents the first 12 hours of the day, and the time from 12 noon to 11:59 at night is denoted by the suffix \u2018p.m.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">To subtract time in a 12-hour clock format, we can consider the following two cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">When both the times are in either a.m. or p.m., we simply subtract the times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">When one of the times is in a.m., and the other is in p.m., we can convert the times to 24-hour clock format and subtract.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">To <strong>subtract time <\/strong>in a.m. and p.m., subtract the first of the two times from 12:00. If needed, borrow hours and minutes to perform the subtraction. After arriving at the answer, add the second time to the remainder. Let\u2019s look at an example to understand. To find the duration between 8:30 a.m. and 2:10 p.m., we will follow the method below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step I: Subtract 8:30 from 12:00. We get 3 hr and 30 min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step II: Add the second time, 2:10 to 3 hr and 30 min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, the duration between 8:30 a.m. and 2:10 p.m is 2:10, 5 hr and 40 min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">You will get the final remainder if you want to <strong>subtract time<\/strong> in a.m. and p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-how-to-subtract-hours-and-minutes-from-time\">How to Subtract Hours and Minutes from Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">To subtract 5 hours from 11:45 means determining the time 5 hours before 11:45. Let us take an example to understand the best way to subtract<strong> hours and minutes from time<\/strong>. For example, we need to subtract 2 hr and 45 mins from 07:50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">As stated earlier, we will begin by subtracting the hours and minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-3.png\" alt=\"Subtracting Time\" class=\"wp-image-13697\" title=\"Subtracting Time\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-Subtract-Time-3-300x161.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">2 hours and 45 minutes before 07:50 is 05:05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Subtracting time is easy as long as we clearly understand hours, minutes, and seconds.
