  1. Duration in whole minutes

    d = hours × 60 + minutes

    2 × 60 + 45 = 165

  2. Start (minutes after midnight) + the duration

    t = start + d

    570 + 165 = 735

  3. Wrap around the 24-hour day (1,440 minutes)

    time = t mod 1,440

    735 mod 1,440 = 735

  4. Minutes after midnight as a clock time

    735 min after midnight = 12:15 PM

How it works

New time = start + (or −) hours × 60 + minutes, wrapped around 24 hours; a list total = sum of each h:mm entry
