11 : 15

-8:20

------------

We need to borrow from the hours

11 becomes 10 and 1 hour = 60 minutes so add 60 to the 15

10 :75

-8:20

------------

2: 55

This is 2 hours and 55 minutes

Answer 2

2:55. That's Two hours and 55 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: From 8:20 to 11:20 would be three hours. But the actual time is five minutes less. There are 60 minutes in one hour. So change one hour to 60 minutes and subtract 5 minutes.

2:60 - :05 = 2:55
