- 8:45
_________
_________
Step 1 - Rewrite
8:45
9:00
10:00
11:00
11:45
Step 2 - See how much to add in each step
8:45
9:00 -- 15 min (since 8:45)
10:00 -- 1 hour (since 9:00)
11:00 -- 1 hour (since 10:00)
11:45 -- 45 minutes (since 11:00)
Step 3 - Add hours
1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hours
Step 4 - Add minutes
15 min + 45 minutes = 60 minute
Step 5 - make minutes into hours if they are more than 60
60 minutes = 1 hour 0 minutes
Step 6 - Add all together
2 hours + 1 hour + 0 minutes = 3 hours and 0 minutes
