Problem Statement

The question would like us to find Debra's departure time if the time right now is 11:43 AM and the flight is in 3 hours 46 minutes.

Solution

- The time right now is 11:43 AM (almost 12 PM). We are told that the flight is in 3 hours 46 minutes.

- This means that to calculate the time for the flight, we need to add this 3 hours 46 minutes to the time right now, 11:43 AM.

This is done below:

- The hour value is 15, which means it's a PM value and this is easily converted to a 12-hour clock value by subtracting 12 from 15. This gives 3.

- Thus, Debra's flight will take off in:


3\colon29PM
