well cut it in half u no from 12:00-3:15 is 3 hours and 15 mins and then u round 9:46 to 10:00 then from 10:00-12:00 is 2 hours now so far 3 hours plu 2 hours plus 15 mins=5 hours and 15 mins u then juz add 14 mins for the rounding we did b4 and it=5 hours and 29 mins

(sorry 4 giving the answer but i dont no how 2 explain without giving the answer)

Answer 2

I would first round the first to 10, second to 3.

The different between those two is 5 hours.  Then just add the minutes you left out, like 14 and 15.

So it's 5 hours and 29 minutes.

Answer 3

find out how many hours it takes to change from 9:46pm to 3:46 am. (one hour to 10:46, two to 11:46, three to 12:46, and so on) Now find out what 46 minus 15 equals (to go from 3:46 to 3:15) and subtract it from the number of hours you got (change hours into minutes to make subtracting easier). you should end up with an answer of something hours and something minutes. hope this helps!
