Question

Your plane leaves Boston (Eastern Standard Time) at 7:00am, bound for Los Angeles (Pacific Standard Time). The flight takes 5 hours. What is time when you arrive in Los Angeles

Answer 1

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 9:00 am

Explanation:

The Pacific Standard Time (PST) in Los Angeles is 3 hours earlier than the Eastern Standard Time (EST) in Boston

Therefore,

7:00 am at Boston = 4:00 am in Los Angeles

If the plane takes 5 hours

What is time when you arrive in Los Angeles

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 4:00 am + 5:00 hours

= 9:00 am

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 9:00 am
