The trick to converting your units is to write your conversion factor multiplication in such a neat way that the units cancel out nicely to get your desired units.
In this case,
20 minutes/10 boxes * 45 boxes = 2 * 45 minutes = 90 minutes = 1 hour 30 minutes.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1 hour 30 minutes.
