According to the given data we have the following:

Debra started washing at 8:33 AM

finished at 9:22 AM

One easy way to find out the amount of time it took to her washing her clothes would be the following:

Debra started washing at 8:33 AM, so from 8:33 am to 9 o clock 27 minutes passed.

So, if she finished at 9:22 AM, that means that we would have to add to the 27 minutes another 22 minutes, so 27+22=49 minutes.

Therefore, it took to her 49 minutes to wash her clothes.
