Hallo Guest!

 

What is 5:17 - 1:20

 

time of day:

 

5h 17min - 1h 20min = 3h 57min

 

Difference quotient

 

5/17 - 1/20 = (20 *5 - 17) / (17 * 20) = 83 / 340 = 0,24417647059

 

Greeting asinus :- )

laugh!

Do you want the elapsed time? You should always specify am or pm. In this case it doesn't make any difference: 5:17 to 1:20 =8 hours and 3 minutes.

Asinus: In English-speaking countries we don't go BACKWARDS in time!!!.

 

5:17pm to 1:20am is 8 hours and 3 minutes, or

5:17am to 1:20pm is 8 hours and 3 minutes!.

THIS IS CALLED ELAPSED TIME!.

Guest you are more full of dung than a constipated hog!

 

Asiuns’ answer is fine. No one can tell from the question if it hours or minutes, or a ratio.

 

I speak English (sort of) and I would not use a minus sign to mean “to” or elapsed time for that type of question.

 

Maybe in Anol Retentive -constipated hog,  English you use it. :/
