Hi welcome to openstudy
Start by counting 5 hours from 9 o'clock don't worry about the mins yet. Tell me what time you get

Answer 2

Answer 3

How did you get that?

Answer 4

you said start counting from 9 right ?

Answer 5

Instead of adding like that, it's easier to add in Increments. That way you could accomplish the entire task using mental math.

Answer 6

@Hero seems to have a better approach. He can help.

Answer 7

There's no need to feel embarrassed everyone needs help at one point of time.

Answer 9

Lol don't feel embarrassed :) we are here to help!
ok from 9:00 add 5 hours. What do you get?

Answer 10

Add 5 to 9. you should get 2:00

Next, add 25 to 40. You should get 65.
subtract 60 from 65 and you get 5

add up the numbers and you have 2:05

Answer 11

@Ella4184 Its better to let the asker do the work than feed the answer to them. Even if you did the work.

Answer 12

If you add 20 min you get 10:00. Now you have 5:05 left. If you add 2 hrs it will be 12:00. Afterwards You'll have 3:05 left.

Answer 13

It was just a demonstration of why adding in increments is easier.

Answer 14

No need to over-react @pooja195

Answer 15

The asker said they were confused. Rather than giving the answer in an explanation it's better to let them answer their own question.

Answer 16

It was a demonstration the aim of which was to eliminate some of the Confusion.

Answer 17

Hey, so hero has the right idea.

Your flight starts at 9:40 and you want the time 5 hours 25 minutes later.
So lets look at the 25 minutes first, and take 20 minutes out and put it to the 9:40, then we have 10:00 right?
Now we will have 5 hours and 5 min left, so simply add the 5 hours to the 10:00 for convenience lets write 10:00 am, that maybe helpful.
5 hours later, 11 am, 12 pm, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, see we added 5 hours and now are at 3:00 pm
But remember we still have the extra 5 minutes, so simply adding that we get 3:05 pm :) or 3:05 :-)
