You need to do two subtractions.
11:30 - 6:45
3:15 - 12:30

okay

Answer 7

Start at 6:45.
till 7:45 it's 1 hour
till 8:45 it's 2 hours
till 9:45 it's 3 hours
till 10:45 it's 4 hours
now you only go to 11:30
10:45 to 11:30 is 45 minutes
So far you have a total of 4:45

Answer 8

Now do the same to the afternoon shift

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

12:30 to 1:30 --> 1 hour
1:30 to 2:30 ---> 2 hours
2:30 to 3:15 ---> 45 minutes
12:30 to 3:15 is 2:45

Now you add 4:45 + 2:45
4 + 2 = 6
45 minute + 45 minutes = 90 minutes = 1:30
6:00 + 1:30 = 7:30
