A shift starts at 6:15 AM and runs 7 hours 45 minutes, including a 30 minute unpaid lunch break. How many minutes of paid working time are in the shift?

Correct answer to question 218 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 435 minutes

Method

Convert the shift length to minutes, then subtract the unpaid break. Seven hours 45 minutes is 465 minutes, and taking away the 30 minute lunch leaves 435 minutes of paid time.
