If Titanic hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m and 2 hours and 40 minutes later it sank, what time did it sink at?
I find it easier to change times to military time.
11:40>>>23:40 add 2:40 becomes
25:80 or 26:20 or 02:20

To find the time when Titanic sank, you need to add the 2 hours and 40 minutes to the time it hit the iceberg.
First, convert the 2 hours and 40 minutes to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2 hours is equal to 2 * 60 = 120 minutes.
Adding the 120 minutes to the 40 minutes gives a total of 120 + 40 = 160 minutes.
Now, add the 160 minutes to the original time of 11:40 p.m.
11:40 p.m. + 160 minutes = 11:40 p.m. + 2 hours and 40 minutes = 2:20 a.m.
Therefore, Titanic sank at 2:20 a.m.
