A night bus leaves at 22:45 and arrives at 04:55 the next morning. How long does the journey take?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 6 h 10 min

  1. Step 1: From 22:45 to midnight is 1 h 15 min.
  2. Step 2: Add the time after midnight, 4 h 55 min, to get 6 h 10 min.
Answer
6 h 10 min.
Why not the others: 18 h 10 min: the hours and minutes were subtracted separately, ignoring the change of day. 7 h 10 min: one hour was added by mistake. 5 h 10 min: one hour was subtracted by mistake.
