Calculate the elapsed time between:

11:15 A.M. and 6:00 P.M.

Review AM and PM values:

Time crossed over from A.M. to P.M.

Find the difference between 12 and our hour on each side of the A.M. P.M. dividing line

The minute of 6:00 P.M. is less than the minute of 11:15 A.M.

Borrow 1 hour from the hour reading which is 60 minutes

Add this to the minutes calculation

Answer in Hours = (12 - 11) + 6 - 1 borrowed hour
