Given the time:

2:16 AM

8:10 PM

Determine the elapsed time.

Solution:

In order to easily determine the elapsed time, we simply convert  the time in a 24-hour format, then compute with a modulus of 60 for the minutes.

8:10 PM = 20:10 

2:16 AM = 2:16

= 20:10 - 2:16| mod 60

mod means, that we will only retain to the specific value or start to the specific value that was designated.

= 17:54

Final answer:

17:54 have elapsed.
