You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Add all of the categories separately.
Hours : 4%2B3%2B7=14
Minutes : 17%2B58%2B45%2B12=132
Since the number of minutes is greater than 60 (60 minutes=1 hour),
you can simplify.
2 hours would be 120 minutes.
132 minutes = 2 hours 12 minutes.
Hours : 14%2B2
Minutes : 12
Now add everything together.
16 hours 12 minutes.
