Timetables and itineraries often use 24-hour time (00:00 to 24:00). To find a duration, a helpful strategy is to jump to the next whole hour, then count on in hours and minutes.

A 24-hour timeline with 12-hour labels and a red arc from 10:45 to 13:20 marking a duration of 2 hours 35 minutes. — Counting on along a time number line.
