To find the total time Ben spent traveling to and from work, you simply add the time it took him to get to work and the time it took him to get home.

Ben's travel time to work: 25 minutes
Ben's travel time to get home: 55 minutes

Now, add the two times together:

25 minutes + 55 minutes = 80 minutes

Next, convert 80 minutes into hours and minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:

80 minutes = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Therefore, the total time Ben spent traveling to and from work is 1 hour and 20 minutes.
