Answer: 06.45

Explanation: For this problem, it is essential to know that there are 24 hours in a day. With that said, we take our starting time of 16.45 and since we want to know what time it is 14 ahead (addition), we add the two numbers together.

16.45 + 14 = 30.45

Since there are only 24 hours in a day, and we have exceeded that value, we subtract 24.

30.45 - 24 = 06.45

And that is the time in Brisbane.

Alternatively, you can count time in 12-hour format and convert 16.45 to 4.45 pm by subtracting 12.

Knowing your start time is 4.45pm simply add 14 to that (or change the pm to an and add 2 since 14-12=2).

You will again get 6.45am.

Cheers.
