Owen arrives at Barney's Burger Barn at 8:45 pm. If the restaurant closes at 9:00 pm, how many minutes are left until closing?

Explanation:
You determine how much time is left by subtracting the arrival time from the closing time. From 8:45 pm to 9:00 pm is 15 minutes. You can count: 8:45 to 8:50 is 5 minutes, then 8:50 to 9:00 is 10 more minutes, totaling 15. (Or convert to minutes: 8:45 is 525 minutes after the hour, 9:00 is 540, difference 15.) So the remaining time is 15 minutes.
