To determine how long the television was on, we need to calculate the time difference between when it was turned on and when it was turned off.

Josh turned on the television at 1:25 p.m. and turned it off at 2:06 p.m.

First, we break this down:

  • From 1:25 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. is 35 minutes.
  • From 2:00 p.m. to 2:06 p.m. is 6 minutes.

Now we add these two intervals together:

35 minutes + 6 minutes = 41 minutes.

Therefore, the television was on for 41 minutes.
