Be mindful of units. If you are using minutes (as in the given 45 minutes) when solving for k and the integration constant C, then for part b) t will come out in minutes, too, and must be converted to hours. (Of course, one could use 45 min = 3/4 hours when finding k and C, and then t would come out in hours.)
