A meeting starts at 10:40 AM and lasts for 2 hours 35 minutes. It is followed by a 25-minute break. At what time does the break end?
Explanation
Explanation
Step 1: Add the meeting duration to the start time: 10:40 + 2 h = 12:40, and 12:40 + 35 min = 13:15 (1:15 PM).
Step 2: The meeting ends at 1:15 PM.
Step 3: Add the break: 1:15 PM + 25 min = 1:40 PM.
Step 4: Alternative check: total time = 2 h 35 min + 25 min = 3 h 0 min, and 10:40 AM + 3 h = 1:40 PM ✓.
Answer: 1:40 PM.
