Ahh -- but there's a time change involved. Chicago is in Central time and Detroit is in Eastern time. When it's 9:50 in Chicago, it's 10:50 in Detroit. The trip only took 55 minutes.
To determine how long the trip took, you need to calculate the difference between the departure time (9:50 AM) and the arrival time (11:45 AM). Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert both times into a common format (24-hour format) for easier calculation.
9:50 AM can be written as 09:50.
11:45 AM can be written as 11:45.
Step 2: Calculate the time difference.
Subtract the departure time from the arrival time:
11:45 - 09:50 = 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Step 3: Convert the difference into the desired format.
Since the difference is in hours and minutes, you can write it as 1:55 or 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Therefore, the trip took 1 hour and 55 minutes.
