Answer: the movie was 1 hour and 35 minutes and Amar got home at 6:15 P.M.

Explanation:

to find out how long the movie was you have to find the distance between the time frames 3:55 and 5:30.

3:55+1 hour= 4:55

4:55+5 minutes= 5:00

5:00+30 minutes= 5:30

Add the times to find how long the movie was.

This is how I found how long the movie was.

To find out when Amar got home you have to do the same thing as well.

5:30+30 minutes= 6:00

6:00+15 minutes= 6:15

Hope this helps!
