Martina starting playing video games as soon as she got home from school. She played video games for 15 minutes. Then Martina helped clean the kitchen for 45 minutes. After the kitchen was clean, it took Martina 15 minutes to finish her homework. When Martina finished her homework, it was 4:45 P.M. What time did Martina get home from school?
