How to solve the question?
In the question, we are given that it took Mark 45 minutes to get to work and 35 minutes to get home.
We have been asked the total time Mark spent traveling.
To find the total time, we need to add both times.
To add the time, we do as follows:
Given times: 45 minutes and 35 minutes.
We check for the smallest place value seconds. It is missing so we go up.
The next smallest place value is minutes.
We add the two minutes, 45 minutes + 35 minutes = 80 minutes.
We convert 60 minutes to 1 hour.
Finally, we get 1 hour 20 minutes.
Thus, the total time Mark spent traveling was 1 hour and 20 minutes, computed using time addition.
