what's 1+5?

Answer 6

What you do, is to write out the hours and minutes in two columns:

Answer 7

is it a right
6:00 - 1:35 =5:35

Answer 8

h min
6 00
1 35

Since 00 cannot subtract 35, we borrow 1 hour and make it 60 minutes.

h min
5 60
1 35

Now you do the subtraction, get the answer, and compare which choice.
ok with that?

Answer 9

Remember we borrowed one, so you have to subtract 1 hour from 5 hours.
Look at the table above.

the answer can't contain 5 hours because 1:35+5 hours=6:35. you've already gone over

I will let you continue, since you seem to be very interested in the task.... as long as you don't give a direct answer.

Answer 12

It cant be 4 hours and 35 minutes either because 1:35+4:35=6:10
