The longest professional tennis match ever played lasted a total of 
hours and 
minutes. How many minutes was this?
Solution
It is best to split 11 hours and 5 minutes into 2 parts, one of 11 hours and another of 5 minutes. We know that there is 
minutes in a hour. Therefore, there are 
minutes in 11 hours. Adding the second part(the 5 minutes) we get 
.
Solution 2
The best method comes when you remember your multiplication tables. Thus trivial, we get our answer of $\boxed{$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)(C)$665}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
