For how much time was Mr. Sharma's car in the parking lot?

Answer

To find the duration for which Mr. Sharma's car was parked in the lot, we can calculate the time between when he parked and when he left. Mr. Sharma parked at 11:12 AM and left at 1:05 PM. 1. **Convert the times into minutes for easier calculation**: - **11:12 AM**: 11 hours 12 minutes = (11 * 60) + 12 = 660 + 12 = 672 minutes. - **1:05 PM**: 1 hour 5 minutes = (13 * 60) + 5 = 780 + 5 = 785 minutes (Note: Since 1:05 PM is in the 13th hour). 2. **Calculate the difference between the two times**: - 785 minutes (time out) - 672 minutes (time in) = 113 minutes. 3. **Convert minutes back to hours and minutes**: - 113 minutes is equal to 1 hour and 53 minutes (because 60 minutes make an hour, 113 - 60 = 53 minutes left over). Therefore, the answer is **1 hour and 53 minutes**.
