How do you say "it took me (quantity of time)"

Is there a difference in usage between these three translations for "it took me an hour to do something":

"Il m'a fallu une heure pour faire qch"

"J'ai mis une heure pour faire qch"

"Ça m'a pris une heure pour faire qch"

Thank you in advance

Salut Daniel,

There is no link to a Kwiziq lesson or question so your post gives the impression of being a homework request.

This Forum does not provide that type of support.
