Answer 1

What do you mean?

Answer 2

5:45PM to 6:10PM is 25 min.

Answer 3

i got that part, but now i need to explain why my answer is correct.

Answer 4

Well, we know that the hour changes after 5:59.

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

And it is 15 minutes from 5:45 to the next hour.

Answer 7

So we already used up 15 minutes in 25, so that leaves us with 10. So we can add 10 to 6:00 which gives us 6:10.

Answer 8

Is that good enough for you? @kalem03

Answer 9

dinner: 5:45-6:10
5:45-6:00=15 minutes
6:00-6:10=10 minutes
total time=25 minutes
