For teachers and parents
Count to the next hour, count complete hours, then count the remaining minutes. Use 60 minutes per hour and include a full-day crossing only when the question explicitly says next day.
A common slip
Clock minutes use groups of sixty. Treating 1 hour 30 minutes as 1.30 hours gives the wrong interval.

Answer: 226
Count to the next hour, count complete hours, then count the remaining minutes. Use 60 minutes per hour and include a full-day crossing only when the question explicitly says next day.
