To find out how much longer it took this morning compared to the usual time, we need to subtract the usual time from the actual time it took this morning.

  1. Convert the usual time and the actual time into minutes:

    • Usual time: 45 minutes
    • Actual time: 1 hour and 5 minutes = 60 minutes + 5 minutes = 65 minutes

  2. Now, subtract the usual time from the actual time:

    • 65 minutes (actual) - 45 minutes (usual) = 20 minutes

So, it took 20 minutes longer this morning.

The answer is 20 minutes.
