# Time Duration

We will learn how to calculate the time duration in minutes and in hours.

We can calculate the duration of an activity if we know the starting and finishing time. For example, if the morning assembly in a school begins at 8:00 a.m. and finishes at 8:25 a.m. the duration of assembly is the difference of finishing time and starting time.

0825 - 800 = 25 minutes.

So, if we know the starting time and the duration of an activity, we can calculate finishing time of the activity.
