Algebra Difficulty 1.5 Junior Find the answer Canada

When the time in Toronto, ON is 1:00 p.m., the time in Gander, NL is 2:30 p.m. A flight from Toronto to Gander takes 2 hours and 50 minutes. If the flight departs at 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time), what time will the flight land in Gander (Gander time)?

Pick one

Solution

Since the time in Toronto, ON is 1:00 p.m. when the time in Gander, NL is 2:30 p.m., then the time in Gander is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of the time in Toronto.

A flight that departs from Toronto at 3:00 p.m. and takes 2 hours and 50 minutes will land in Gander at 5:50 p.m. Toronto time.

When the time in Toronto is 5:50 p.m., the time in Gander is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead which is 7:20 p.m.
