did it take them to complete the snowman?

Sam and Summer then invited all the friends over for hot chocolate. They started
at 2:40, but mixing all the chocolate and passing it out took awhile. If they finished
cleaning up at 4:05, how long did they rest and drink hot chocolate?

At 4:15 it started snowing again so everyone decided to try and catch

snowflakes. They played outside and caught snowflakes on their tongue until
5:15, then went home for dinner. How long were they out in the snow?

Go back through the problems you have solved and add up the total t ime the
friends spent playing outside on their fun, snowy day. (HINT: Don’t include time
that they were inside the house).
