Answer:

07:45 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Steven landed in Orlando after the sum of the following time

3 hours and 45 minutes

2 hours and 30 minutes

1 hour and 30 minutes

If we add the hours and the minutes, we get:

3 hours + 2 hours + 1 hour = 6 hours

45 minutes + 30 minutes + 30 minutes = 105 minutes

But 1 hour = 60 minutes, so

6 hours and 105 minutes = 7 hours and 45 minutes

because

105 - 60 = 45

Since the flight left Boston at 12:00 pm, it was 07:45 pm when Steven landed in Orlando.
