Understanding Time Duration Calculations
Basic Time Duration
Calculating time duration involves finding the difference between two times while considering:
- Hours in 12-hour or 24-hour format
- Minutes (0-59)
- Seconds (0-59)
- AM/PM designation for 12-hour format
Common Time Duration Scenarios
| Start Time | End Time | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9:00 AM | 5:00 PM | 8 hours | Standard workday |
| 11:30 PM | 1:30 AM | 2 hours | Crosses midnight |
| 10:45 AM | 2:15 PM | 3 hours 30 minutes | Includes minutes |
Tips for Accurate Time Calculations
- Always verify AM/PM settings for 12-hour format times
- Consider date changes when calculating durations that cross midnight
- Remember that minutes and seconds work in base-60, not base-100
- For precise measurements, include seconds in your calculations
