starts a movie that is $2$ hours and
$45$ minutes long. If she watches the
movie all the way through without a pause or a break, at what time will
it finish?

Pick one

Solution

Solution 1:

The time 2 hours after 8:45 a.m. is 10:45 a.m., and the time 45
minutes after 10:45 a.m. is 11:30 a.m.

Solution 2:

Two hours and 45 minutes is 15 minutes less than 3 hours.

before 11:45 a.m. is 11:30 a.m.
