Fred is going to take a flight from Miami, Florida, to San Francisco, California.
The flight leaves Miami at 9:15 a.m. Miami time and arrives in San Francisco
at 1:20 p.m. San Francisco time. If Miami is in the eastern time zone and San
Francisco is in the Pacific time zone, how long is the flight?
Use the following to help you answer the question.
12:00 p.m. eastern time = 11:00 a.m. central time = 10:00 a.m. mountain
time = 9:00 a.m. Pacific time.
A. 4 h 15 min
B. 5 h 15 min
C. 3 h 15 min
D. 7 h 15 min

1. Convert 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time to Pacific Time. As you can see by the information given, Eastern Time is 3 hours ahead of Pacific Time. So, 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time is 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time.

2. Find the difference between 1:20 p.m. and 6:15 a.m.

1:20 p.m. = 13:20 p.m.

13:20
