Answer:

3 hours and 15mins

You first have to add the first clocks time to get to a hour 10+10+10 to get to 60mins then, you add the second clocks time 15+15+15 to get to 60 again last, you add the third clocks time 25+25+25 to get to 75 but subtract 60 mins from 75 to get 15mins left And turn the 60mins to hours so it’s 3hours 15mins have passed
