Answer 1

The movie was 1 hr 45 mins long.

Amar got home by 8:30 pm

Explanation:

Amar and his friends went to a movie at 5:45 P.M and the movie ended at 7:30 P.M.

The length of the movie can be found by subtracting the start time from the end time of the movie:

H M

07 : 30

- 05 : 45

01 : 45

The movie was 1 hr 45 mins long.

Amar got home 45 minutes after the movie ended.

We simply add 45 minutes to 7:30 pm:

H M

07 : 30

+ 00 : 45

08 : 15

Amar got home by 8:15 pm.
