"according to the equation is a sloppy description, and announces that whoever said it or wrote it doesn't really have a clue to what the equation means or what it's good for.

h (t) is the HEIGHT of the projectile above the ground at any time 't'. When the projectile hits the ground, h (t) is zero. Write that ! Then you have a quadratic equation that you can easily solve for 't'.
