To find out how many minutes past 5:00 is 27 minutes before 7:00, we first need to calculate what time it is 27 minutes before 7:00.
Starting from 7:00, we subtract 27 minutes:
- 7:00 – 27 minutes = 6:33
Now, we need to determine how many minutes have elapsed from 5:00 to 6:33. From 5:00 to 6:00 is 60 minutes, and from 6:00 to 6:33 is an additional 33 minutes.
- 60 minutes (from 5:00 to 6:00) + 33 minutes (from 6:00 to 6:33) = 93 minutes
Therefore, 27 minutes before 7:00 is 93 minutes past 5:00.
