Subtract Minutes and Hours

Subtract Hours and Minutes: Learn

How to subtract hours and minutes:

  • If the number of minutes being subtracted is larger than the original minutes, you must borrow some minutes from the hours:
    • Subtract 1 from the original number of hours.
    • Increase the number of original minutes by 60.
  • Subtract the minutes.
  • Subtract the hours.

Example: What is 4 hours 1 minute minus 2 hours 6 minutes?

  • Since 6 minutes is more than 1 minutes, we must borrow some minutes:
    • Subtract 1 from the original hours: 4 hours - 1 hour = 3 hours
    • Add 24 to the original minutes: 1 minutes + 60 minutes = 61 minutes
  • Subtract the minutes: 61 minutes - 6 minutes = 55 minutes
  • Subtact the hours: 3 hours - 2 hours = 1 hour
  • Final answer: 1 hour 55 minutes
