She studied for 1 hour 39 minutes.

Answer 2

if Megan starts studying at 4:10 and finishes at 5:49 then she studied for 99 minutes. I got this answer by finding how many minutes were between 4:10 and 5:00 and between 5:00 and 5:49 which was 50 minutes and 49 minutes. I then added the 2 numbers together and got a total of 99 minutes. which can also be calculated into 1 hour and 39 minutes
