Answer:

3 hours and 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time in Los Angeles is 2 hours ahead of the time in Minneapolis.

So, if the flight arrives at 1:30 p.m in Los Angeles, the flight arrives at 3:30 p.m in Minneapolis.

Now, we need to find the number of hours from 11:35 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

First, let's write 3:30 p.m. into 24 hours format, so:

3:30 p.m. = 15: 30

Then, we will rewrite 15 hours and 30 minutes as 14 hours and 90 minutes, so:

15: 30 = 14 : 90

Now, we can subtract 11:35 from 14:90 to get:

14 : 90

11 : 35

3 : 55

Therefore, the flight was 3 hours and 55 minutes long.
