    Add 8 minutes 32 seconds, 37 minutes 18 seconds, and 15 seconds.Enter your answer in the following format:  MM:SS

    Correct Answer
    46:05
    Explanation
    The question asks to add 8 minutes 32 seconds, 37 minutes 18 seconds, and 15 seconds. To solve this, we add the minutes separately and the seconds separately. Adding the minutes, we get 45 minutes (8 + 37) and adding the seconds, we get 65 seconds (32 + 18 + 15). Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can convert the 65 seconds to 1 minute and 5 seconds. Therefore, the total time is 46 minutes and 5 seconds, which is represented as 46:05.
