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.
