To determine how many minutes there are before midday when the current time is 11:35 AM, follow these steps:
1. Understand the times involved:
- The current time is 11:35 AM.
- Midday (12:00 PM) is the reference point.
2. Convert both times to minutes:
- Convert 11:35 AM to minutes: [tex]\( 11 \times 60 + 35 = 660 + 35 = 695 \)[/tex] minutes.
- Midday (12:00 PM) in minutes is [tex]\( 12 \times 60 = 720 \)[/tex] minutes.
3. Calculate the difference:
- To find how many minutes are left before midday, subtract the current time in minutes from the midday time in minutes: [tex]\( 720 - 695 = 25 \)[/tex] minutes.
Therefore, there are 25 minutes before midday when the time is 11:35 AM.
