1. how much longer is training than the afternoon meeting?

the training is hour(s) and minute(s) longer than the afternoon meeting.
(type a whole number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate duration of afternoon meeting

Afternoon meeting is from 1:15 P.M. to 2:05 P.M.
Duration = 2:05 - 1:15 = 50 minutes.

Step2: Calculate duration of training

Training is from 2:45 P.M. to 4:15 P.M.
Duration = 4:15 - 2:45 = 90 minutes.

Step3: Find the difference

Difference = 90 - 50 = 40 minutes.
40 minutes = 0 hours and 40 minutes (or 0 hour and 40 minutes).

Answer:

0 hour(s) and 40 minute(s)
