Question

1. keenan is flying to hawaii for vacation. his flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. and will take 7.5 hours. keenans home in denver is four hours ahead of hawaii. what time will it be when keenan lands in hawaii?

4:00 p.m.
8:00 p.m.
9:00 a.m.
12:00 a.m.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate arrival time in Denver

Flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. (Denver time) and takes 7.5 hours. So 12:30 p.m. + 7.5 hours = 8:00 p.m. (Denver time).

Step2: Adjust for Hawaii time

Denver is 4 hours ahead of Hawaii, so Hawaii time is 4 hours behind Denver. So 8:00 p.m. (Denver) - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m.? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 12:30 p.m. Denver time. Flight duration 7.5 hours. So arrival in Denver time is 12:30 + 7:30 = 8:00 p.m. Denver. But Hawaii is 4 hours behind Denver, so Hawaii time is 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m.? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, 12:30 p.m. Denver, flight 7.5 hours. So 12:30 + 7:30 = 8:00 p.m. Denver. Now, Hawaii is 4 hours behind Denver, so when it's 8:00 p.m. in Denver, it's 4:00 p.m. in Hawaii? But the options have 4:00 p.m. as an option. Wait, but let's check again. Wait, maybe the time zone: Denver is MDT (Mountain Daylight Time), Hawaii is HST (Hawaii Standard Time), which is 4 hours behind MDT. So departure at 12:30 p.m. MDT, flight 7.5 hours. Arrival in MDT: 12:30 + 7:30 = 8:00 p.m. MDT. Convert to HST: 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m. HST. So the answer should be 4:00 p.m.

Answer:

4:00 p.m.
