#"Total time spent on reading + watching TV " = color(brown)(3h : 55 min#

Explanation:

#color(crimson)(60 sec = 1 min, 60 min = 1 hour#

#"Jeff read for " = 2(1/4) hours = 2h : 15min#

#"Jeff watched TV for " = 1(2/3) hours = 1 h : 40 min#

#"Total time spent on reading + watching TV " = 2h : 15 min + 1 h :40 min#

#color(brown)(=> 3h : 55 min#
