Answer:

Finally, the trip of Thomas will take an hour and fifty minutes more than the normal time it usually takes.

Explanation:

1. Let's check all the information provided to answer the question:

Time of Thomas flight delay = 1 5/6 hours

Time of normal flight = x hours

2. How long did the trip finally take?

For calculating how long the trip finally took, we need to do the following sum:

Time of normal flight + Time of delay

Like we don't know the time of the normal flight, we will define it as x, then:

x + 1 5/6 hours

x + 1 hour and 50 minutes ⇒ 5/6 of an hour = 5/6 * 60 minutes = 50 minutes

Finally, the trip of Thomas will take an hour and fifty minutes more than the normal time it usually takes.
