200 minutes
20 + 60 + 60 + 30 + 30 = 200

This is very simple!!
.
Don't worry, no need to panic.
.
Just add the number of minutes up!!
.
Write the numbers that you can see are evident down.
.
20... 2 hours and 30 minutes... no more.
.
BUT WAIT!!
.
Half an hour looks suspicious.
.
Isn't that 30 minutes?
.
Add that to our list.
.
Now, we have to convert 2 hours to minutes.
.
Arggggh!!
.
Don't worry, there's 60 minutes in an hour, so 60 x 2 is 120 minutes!!
.
Add em' up!!
.
20 + 120 + 30 + 30 is...
.
200 minutes!!
.
Or, 3 hours and 20 minutes.
.
Hope I helped!!
