The layover in New York City lasts 2 h 41 min.The flight from New York City to Boston lasts 1 h 10 min. How long is it from the time the first flight takes off to the time Henry touches down in Boston?

Answer 1

Answer: It is 5.05 hours or 5 hours 3 minutes from the time the first flight takes off to the time Henry touches down in Boston

Explanation:

1 hour = 60 min

Given :Time for flight from Washington D.C. to New York City = 1 h 12 min = 72 min

Lay over in New York = 2 h 41 min = 161 min

Time for flight from New York City to Boston = 1 h 10 min = 70 min

Thus total time for Henry to touch down Boston = Time for flight from Washington D.C. to New York City + Lay over in New York + Time for flight from New York City to Boston = 72 min + 161 min + 70 min = 303 min = 5.05 hour

5.05 hours or 5 hours 3 min from the time the first flight takes off to the time Henry touches down in Boston
