    This question is about elapsed time.

    Let's solve this step-by-step.

    1.) 1:35 PM is a tricky time to deal with. Let's change it to 2:00 PM by adding 25 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, 35 minutes + 25 minutes, or 60 minutes, makes it 2:00 PM.

    1:35 PM = > 2:00 PM (+25 min)

    2.) Now, let's add one more hour to make it 3:00 PM.

    2:00 PM = > 3:00 PM (+60 min)

    3.) Now, simply add 30 minutes to make it 3:30 PM.

    3:00 PM = > 3:30 PM (+30 min)

    4.) Now, add the time up together.

    25 + 60 + 30.

    => 85 + 30

    => 115 minutes

    5.) Joy was on the train for 115 minutes. (It asked for minutes.)
