A boat leaves the beach at $10:00\text{AM}$ and returns after $2$ hours and $45$ minutes. At what time does it return?

Step-by-step solution

1. Start from the departure time $10:00\text{AM}$.
2. Add the hours: $10:00+2\text{hours}=12:00\text{PM}$.
3. Add the remaining minutes: $12:00+45\text{minutes}=12:45\text{PM}$.
4. Thus the boat returns at $12:45\text{PM}$.
