6. Blake went to the grocery store at 6:30PM, He returned to his house around 9:14PM after running

a few more errands. How long was Blake out of his house for?

If you subtract the times periods form each you will be able to get your answer. So, 9:14-6:30 it will be 2 hours and 44 mins because from 6:30 to 7 it 30 mins, and from 7 to 9 it's 2 hours. So far, add the two and you get 2h and 30mins and from 9 to 9:14 it's 14 mins. So, 2h 30 mins plus 14 mins is 2h and 44mins.
