📖 Read

Elapsed time tells us how much time has passed between two events. To find elapsed time, you can subtract the start time from the end time. For example, if you start your homework at 3:00 PM and finish at 4:30 PM, you can subtract 3:00 from 4:30 to find that 1 hour and 30 minutes have passed. This way, you can keep track of how long things take and plan your day better!
