Based on the information provided, let’s use the Time Calculator shown in the image to perform a time addition calculation.
Since the “Operation” is set to Add in the image, you would input the two times you want to add together into the First Time (HH:MM) and Second Time (HH:MM) fields and then click Calculate.
For example, let’s add 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Time Addition Example
| Field | Input |
| First Time (HH:MM) | 01:45 |
| Second Time (HH:MM) | 02:30 |
| Operation | Add |
Export to Sheets
Calculation Steps (Manual):
- Add the Minutes: 45 minutes+30 minutes=75 minutes.
- Convert Minutes to Hours: 75 minutes=1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Add the Hours: 1 hour+2 hours+(the 1 hour from step 2)=4 hours.
- Combine: The total is 4 hours and 15 minutes.
How the Tool Works
The text describes that the primary function of a Time Calculator is usually to find the difference between two times (elapsed time, great for payroll). However, the specific tool in the image is set to Add, meaning it can also perform Time Addition (like adding the durations of two tasks) or Time Subtraction (to find the difference or subtract a break).
| Function Described in Text | Operation in Image |
| Find Elapsed Time between Start and End. | Typically Subtract (End Time – Start Time). |
| Calculate Total Duration (e.g., of two segments). | Add (as currently selected). |
