the Mendoza family set out on a weekend road trip to Washington, D.C. They started the trip with enough gasoline to drive for 6 hours. The trip took 4 hours and 37 minutes. In addition, they spent 75 minutes driving when they got lost. How many minutes worth of gasoline did the Mendoza's have to spare, if any?

6 hrs - (4 hrs 37 minutes + 75 minutes) =
360 minutes - (240 minutes + 37 minutes + 75 minutes) =
360 minutes - 352 minutes =
8 minutes to spare <==
