Answer 2

• 9:00 AM

Explanation:

• Time in New York = noon = 12:00 PM
• Time in Denver = 10:00 AM

Time difference = -2 hours

• Train departs at 2:00 PM
• Travel time = 45 hours

Train arrival time:

• 2:00 PM + 45 hours = 2:00 PM - 3 hours (plus 2 days) = 11:00 AM

Converting to Denver time:

• 11:00 AM - 2 hours = 9:00 AM
