John spoke to his friend from 10:15am-11:00am. And then John spoke to that same friend again from 12:30pm-1:15pm. altogether, how many minutes did John speak to his friend?

How do I figure this out?

just determine how long each call was, then add them up.

10:15-11:00 = 45 minutes
12:30-1:15 = 45 minutes

total = 90 minutes

Oh okay. Thank you. I appreciate it.

To figure out the total number of minutes John spoke to his friend, we need to calculate the duration of each conversation and then add them together.

The first conversation lasted from 10:15am to 11:00am, which means it lasted for 45 minutes (60 - 15 = 45).

The second conversation occurred from 12:30pm to 1:15pm, which lasted for 45 minutes as well.

To find the total duration, you add the durations of both conversations: 45 minutes + 45 minutes = 90 minutes.

Therefore, John spoke to his friend for a total of 90 minutes.
