Since 6 minutes is more than 1 minutes, we must borrow some minutes:
- Subtract 1 from the original hours: 4 hours - 1 hour = 3 hours
- Add 24 to the original minutes: 1 minutes + 60 minutes = 61 minutes
- Subtract the minutes: 61 minutes - 6 minutes = 55 minutes
- Subtact the hours: 3 hours - 2 hours = 1 hour
- Final answer: 1 hour 55 minutes
