A seminar starts at 11:20 and lasts 2 hours 25 minutes. At what time does it finish?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 13:45

  1. Step 1: Add the hours: 11:20 + 2 h = 13:20.
  2. Step 2: Add the minutes: 13:20 + 25 min = 13:45.
Answer
13:45.
Why not the others: 14:45: an hour is added by mistake. 15:05: it treats an hour as 100 minutes.
