Adding hours and minutes only requires us to remember that an hour is equal to 60 minutes. To better visualize this concept, let's consider an example. Let's say we want to know how much time it will take to finish two movies that are 1 hour and 45 minutes and 2 hours and 33 minutes long.

1. First, we extract the minute values of the two movie durations. Those would be 45 minutes and 33 minutes, respectively.
2. Then, we add them to get 45 minutes + 33 minutes = 78 minutes.
3. Since our total minutes exceed 60, we take 60 minutes from it and add that to the hours portion of our time values. That gives us a remaining 78 minutes - 60 minutes = 18 minutes.
4. We then add the hours portions of our two movie durations, 1 hour and 2 hours, respectively, and then add the other hour we obtained from the sum of the minutes to have: 1 hour + 2 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours.
5. Lastly, we combine the total hours and minutes to have 4 hours and 18 minutes total movie duration.
