Calculating time in OpenOffice Calc

Hello,
I'm looking to do a time calculation in OpenOffice Calc.
Let me explain:
I have a cell that contains a time in the HH:MM format (I have set the formatting this way).
I have another cell containing a number of minutes (unformatted cell).
I would like to calculate the resulting time from the following operation:
time (HH:MM) + X minutes = resulting time
I would also like the resulting time to be formatted in HH:MM
I have tried some things, but I'm a bit lost actually. I don't use the calculation functions in OpenOffice very much and I'm relatively new to this area.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

      Hello,

      The answer seems simple:

      if in B10 we have 5:45 formatted as HH:MM
      if in C10 we put 0:30 formatted as HH:MM
      if in D10 we write the formula =SUM(B10:C10)
      Then it's done because we can read 06:15:00

      Best regards
