Answer: 2:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Going backward, since he spent 1/2 hour - 30minutes from the cinema to home.

5:45 - 30 = 5:15pm.

5:15pm was when the movie finished.

The movie lasted for 2 1/4 hours = 2 hours, 1/4 hours - 15 minutes

So the movie lasted for 2 hours, 15 minutes.

5: 15 - 2: 15 = 3:00pm

And it took him another 1/2 hours to cinema from his house

3:00pm - 30minutes = 2:30pm
