i just don't get the part time of the trip
Please just tell me what i am supposed to do.
4 hours and 10 minutes
The plane arrived at 3:40.
How long is it between 11:30 a.m. and 3:40 p.m.?
Don't tell anybody, but I always count time on my fingers. <g>
Oh I see, thanks! (And it's ok, I do the same thing)
You're welcome. :-)
To determine the time of the trip, you need to calculate the difference between the departure time and the arrival time, accounting for the 25-minute delay.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Convert the departure time and the arrival time to a 24-hour format (military time). In this case, 11:30am becomes 11:30 and 3:15pm becomes 15:15.
2. Calculate the time difference. Subtract the departure time from the arrival time. In this case, 15:15 - 11:30 = 3 hours and 45 minutes.
3. Subtract the delay time from the calculated time difference. In this case, 3 hours and 45 minutes - 25 minutes = 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Therefore, the time of the trip was 3 hours and 20 minutes.
