Answer:

  40 min

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how much less time 7:45 is than 8:25. (H:MM)

Time

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 8 hours 25 minutes is equivalent to 7 hour 85 minutes. Then the time difference can be found using regular subtraction:

  7:85 -7:45 = 0:40

Cecilia slept 40 minutes less than Ashley.

Additional comment

Many calculators can do calculations with degrees, minutes, seconds. This is equivalent to doing calculations with hours, minutes, seconds. The difference is shown in the attachment as 40 minutes.

Another way to do this calculation is to add the 15 minutes from 7:45 to 8:00 to the 25 minutes from 8:00 to 8:25. 15+25 = 40.
