Answer: 4:20 pm

Explanation:

We know that the movie started at 2:35 and lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. We can split the time that it lasted into the hour and the 45 minutes to make things easier, since 1 hour after 2:35 is simply 3:35.

From here, we can add the extra 45 minutes. We can do this by first finding out how many minutes were left in that hour. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and 60 - 35 = 25 minutes

45 - 25 = 20

after adding the 25 minutes to complete the hour (4:00), we have 20 minutes left

4:00 + 0:20 = 4:20
