To solve the problem involving the conversion of time units and scheduling for a movie theatre, we need to determine the start and end times of three movies: A, B, and C. According to the information provided, Movie B has a run time of 85 minutes and its screening concludes at 11:25. Working backwards, we can calculate Movie B's start time by subtracting 85 minutes from the end time, which gives us a start time of 10:00. Movie A begins 20 minutes after Movie B, therefore, it starts at 10:20. However, it also finishes 10 minutes before Movie B, which means Movie A ends at 11:15.

For Movie C, the details specify that it starts 10 minutes before Movie B, which would be at 09:50, and it ends 5 minutes after Movie A. Since Movie A ends at 11:15, adding 5 minutes to that time means Movie C concludes at 11:20. To summarize, Movie A is screened from 10:20 to 11:15, Movie B from 10:00 to 11:25, and Movie C from 09:50 to 11:20. These calculations are based on the relationships between the start and end times of each movie and the duration of Movie B.
