How do they calculate total hours of a track?

The math doesn't seem to make sense here:

Android track says is 38 hours.

The courses within the track are:

  • Build a Simple Android App - 4 Hours
  • Build an Interactive Story - 4 Hours
  • Build a Weather App - 4 Hours
  • Android Lists and Adapters - 3 Hours
  • Android Activity Lifecycle 105 min

What am I missing here?

I understand that the length of a course will be greater than the sum of the videos - factoring in estimated time for challenges and quizzes and other things inside the course. But shouldn't the length of a track be equal to the sum of the lengths of its courses?
