When adding hours and minutes, place the minutes under the minutes and the hours under

the hours. The same applies for subtraction. Always deal with the minutes first.

Please look at the following You Tube clip to help you add and subtract hours and minutes. This can be a

tricky topic to grasp and is hard to explain without the class in front of me. Do your best, and email me if

you have any questions.
