If Tommy started work at 7 a.m. and left at 245 p.m. how many hours should he record for the day on his time card?

Well, honey, Tommy should record 8 hours and 45 minutes on his time card. He worked from 7 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., which is a total of 8 hours. And then you add the extra 45 minutes because, well, math. So, there you have it, 8 hours and 45 minutes of hard work – or maybe just pretending to work, who knows.
