Alberta is going to take a 2-hour-26-minute flight from Chicago, Illinois, to

Denver, Colorado, that leaves at 11:49 am, Chicago time. If Illinois is in the

central time zone and Colorado is in the mountain time zone, what will be the

local time in Denver when the flight arrives?

1:15pm

Step-by-step explanation:

two ways to handle the time change.

a - subtract 1 hour from the travel time

b - figure out the landing time in Chicago time and then back up one hour

I chose to use option a

11:49 + 60 + 26

12:49 + 26

There are 11 minutes left in the hour

12:49 + 11 = 1pm

26 - 11 = 15

1:15pm
