The school's production of Romeo and Juliet began at 7:45 P.M. The first act lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes. The act was followed by a 10 minute intermission. What time did the second act begin?

The right answer is 9:35, because if you put it on a chart then it ends up a bit after 9:30, which indicates it's 9:35.

It should be 9:30 P.M.

7:45+ 15= 8
1 hour 35 minutes - 15= 1 hour 20

8+ 1 hour 20 minutes= 9:20
9:20+ 10= 9:30 P.M.
