Step-by-step explanation: Well we know that John flew a kite starting at 2:20pm and ended at 3:14pm. So the amount of time from 2:20pm to 3:00pm is only 40 minutes. The amount of time between 3:00pm and 3:14pm is 14 minutes. Adding 40 minutes and 14 minutes can be represented like this: 40+14. This would equal 54 minutes.
