Rachel's current time is 11:44 a.m. Her flight will depart in 4 hours and 44 minutes. What is the departure time of her flight?

Answer :

Rachel's flight departure time is at 4:28 PM. This is calculated by adding 4 hours and 44 minutes to the current time of 11:44 AM.

The current time is 11:44 AM, and Rachel's flight will depart in 4 hours and 44 minutes. To find the departure time of her flight, we need to add the 4 hours and 44 minutes to the current time. Below is the step-by-step calculation:

Add the minutes first. 44 minutes + 44 minutes = 88 minutes. Since 60 minutes make an hour, 88 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour and 28 minutes.

Add the 1 hour from the minutes to the 4 hours. 4 hours + 1 hour = 5 hours.

Now add the hours to the current hour. 11 AM + 5 hours = 4 PM.

Finally, add the remaining minutes to the hour. Since we had 28 minutes left over, we add that to 4 PM. So, Rachel's flight departure time is at 4:28 PM.
