Answer :

  1. Time Difference Between Dallas and Atlanta:

    Dallas is in the Central Time Zone (CT), and Atlanta is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET). ET is 1 hour ahead of CT.

    • If it is 5:30 pm in Dallas, then it is 6:30 pm in Atlanta.

  2. Time Difference Between Seattle and St. Louis:

    Seattle is in the Pacific Time Zone (PT), and St. Louis is in the Central Time Zone (CT). CT is 2 hours ahead of PT.

    • If it is 11:45 am in Seattle, then it is 1:45 pm in St. Louis.

  3. Flight Time from Atlanta to San Francisco:

    The flight begins at 3:00 pm Eastern Time (ET), and the flight is 6 hours long. San Francisco is in the Pacific Time Zone (PT). PT is 3 hours behind ET.

    • Arrival time in ET: 3:00 pm + 6 hours = 9:00 pm ET.

    • Convert to PT: 9:00 pm ET - 3 hours = 6:00 pm PT.

    • When you land, it will be 6:00 pm in San Francisco.

  4. Flight Time from Seattle to New York:

    Seattle is in the Pacific Time Zone (PT), and New York is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET). ET is 3 hours ahead of PT.

    • The flight begins at 7:00 am PT, and the flight is 6 hours long.

    • Arrival time in PT: 7:00 am + 6 hours = 1:00 pm PT.

    • Convert to ET: 1:00 pm PT + 3 hours = 4:00 pm ET.

    • When you land, it will be 4:00 pm in New York.

  5. Conversion of Time Units:

    • 0.3 minutes is the same as:

      • 1 minute = 60 seconds.

      • 0.3 minutes = 0.3 \times 60 = 18 seconds.

      • Chosen answer: b) 18 seconds

    • 0.4 hours is the same as:

      • 1 hour = 60 minutes.

      • 0.4 hours = 0.4 \times 60 = 24 minutes.

      • Chosen answer: a) 24 minutes

    • 2.5 days is the same as:

      • 1 day = 24 hours.

      • 0.5 days = 0.5 \times 24 = 12 hours.

      • Therefore, 2.5 days = 2 days + 12 hours.

      • Chosen answer: b) 2 days and 12 hours
