Answer 1

1 hour 20 minutes

Explanation:

The play started at 2:35 PM.

After the play, Jamie talked to her friend for 15 mins and then left the theater at 4:10 PM.

She started talking to her friend once the play was over, hence, to find the time she started talking, we subtract 15 mins from 4:10 PM:

H M

04 : 10

- 00 : 15

03 : 55

She started talking around 3:55 PM.

Hence, to find how long the play lasted:

H M

03 : 55

- 02 : 35

01 : 20

Hence, the play lasted for 1 hour 20 minutes.
