00:36:12
Steps to Solve
-
Subtract the seconds We have $53 - 41 = 12$ seconds.
-
Subtract the minutes We have $28 - 52$. Since 28 is less than 52, we need to borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from the hours place. So, $28 + 60 = 88$, and $88 - 52 = 36$ minutes.
-
Subtract the hours Since we borrowed 1 hour from the hours place, we have $4 - 1 = 3$ hours. Then we subtract the hours: $3 - 3 = 0$ hours.
-
Combine the results Putting it all together, we have 0 hours, 36 minutes, and 12 seconds.
00:36:12
More Information
The result of subtracting the two given times is 0 hours, 36 minutes, and 12 seconds.
Tips
A common mistake is not borrowing correctly when the minutes value being subtracted is larger than the minutes value it's being subtracted from. Remember to borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) and add it to the minutes value before subtracting. Similarly, If the seconds value being subtracted is larger than the seconds value it's being subtracted from, you need to borrow 1 minute (60 seconds) and add it to the seconds value before subtracting.
