\text{1 hour 45 minutes}

4 steps

Identify the start and end times of the match.
The match started at $3:20 \text{ pm}$ and ended at $5:05 \text{ pm}$ .
Subtract the start time from the end time to find the duration.
We need to calculate the difference between $5 \text{ hours } 5 \text{ minutes}$ and $3 \text{ hours } 20 \text{ minutes}$ .
Perform the subtraction.
Since $5 \text{ minutes}$ is less than $20 \text{ minutes}$ , we need to borrow $1 \text{ hour}$ from the $5 \text{ hours}$ in the end time.
$1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes}$ .
So, $5 \text{ hours } 5 \text{ minutes}$ becomes $4 \text{ hours } (5+60) \text{ minutes} = 4 \text{ hours } 65 \text{ minutes}$ .

Now, subtract:
$\begin{align*} &\quad 4 \text{ hours } 65 \text{ minutes} \\ &- \quad 3 \text{ hours } 20 \text{ minutes} \\ \hline &\quad 1 \text{ hour } 45 \text{ minutes} \end{align*}$
State the duration of the match.
The duration of the match is $1 \text{ hour } 45 \text{ minutes}$ .
