Could someone help me with these questions? Thanks!
a) A cargo plane left Vancouver, British Columbia (time zone −8) at 3:00 p.m. on a Monday. The plane flew for 11 h to Paris, France (time zone +1). At what local time and on what day did the plane land in Paris?
b) The plane left Paris 3 h later for the return flight to Vancouver. Strong headwinds slowed the plane, so this flight took 12 h. At what local time and on what day did the plane land in Vancouver?
c) After some maintenance work, the plane next left Vancouver at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday for Honolulu, Hawaii (time zone −10). The plane landed in Honolulu at 3:00 p.m. local time that day. How long did the flight take?
a) The plane landed in Paris at "Why did the chicken cross the road o'clock" on "Absolutely No Idea day."
b) The plane landed in Vancouver at "Oops, I Did It Again o'clock" on "Why is There No Coffee Left day."
c) The flight took "Long Enough to Watch All the Twilight Movies Back to Back" hours.
a) To determine the local time and day when the plane landed in Paris, we need to consider the time difference between Vancouver and Paris as well as the duration of the flight.
1. The time difference between Vancouver (time zone -8) and Paris (time zone +1) is 9 hours (1 - (-8) = 9).
2. The plane flew for 11 hours, so we need to add this to the departure time in Vancouver.
3. Adding 11 hours to 3:00 p.m. on Monday gives us 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Therefore, the plane landed in Paris at 2:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday.
b) To determine the local time and day when the plane landed in Vancouver after the return flight, we need to consider the time difference between Paris and Vancouver as well as the duration of the flight.
1. The time difference between Paris (time zone +1) and Vancouver (time zone -8) is 9 hours (+1 - (-8) = 9).
2. The plane flew for 12 hours, so we need to add this to the departure time in Paris.
3. Adding 12 hours to the departure time in Paris gives us 2:00 p.m.
Therefore, the plane landed in Vancouver at 2:00 p.m. local time.
c) To determine the duration of the flight from Vancouver to Honolulu, we need to consider the time difference between the two locations.
1. The time difference between Vancouver (time zone -8) and Honolulu (time zone -10) is 2 hours (-10 - (-8) = -2).
2. The plane departed at 11:00 a.m. in Vancouver and arrived at 3:00 p.m. in Honolulu local time.
3. The flight duration can be calculated by subtracting the departure time from the arrival time: 3:00 p.m. - 11:00 a.m. = 4 hours.
Therefore, the flight from Vancouver to Honolulu took 4 hours.
a) To determine the local time and day when the plane landed in Paris, we need to consider the time difference between Vancouver and Paris, as well as the duration of the flight.
1. Convert the departure time from Vancouver (3:00 p.m.) to the corresponding time in Paris.
- The time difference between Vancouver (time zone −8) and Paris (time zone +1) is 9 hours ahead.
- Add 9 hours to the departure time in Vancouver: 3:00 p.m. + 9 hours = 12:00 a.m. (midnight).
- Since it crossed over to the next day, it will be the following day in Paris.
2. Determine the day of arrival in Paris.
- The plane flew for 11 hours, so add 11 hours to the local time in Paris: 12:00 a.m. + 11 hours = 11:00 a.m.
- The plane landed in Paris at 11:00 a.m. on the following day (Tuesday).
Therefore, the plane landed in Paris at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
b) To find the local time and day when the plane landed in Vancouver, we need to consider the time difference, the duration of the flight, and the delay caused by the headwinds.
1. Determine the departure time from Paris.
- The plane left Paris 3 hours later than it arrived there, so add 3 hours to the arrival time: 11:00 a.m. + 3 hours = 2:00 p.m.
2. Calculate the total travel time from Paris to Vancouver.
- The flight took 12 hours.
3. Determine the local time and day of arrival in Vancouver.
- Subtract 12 hours from the departure time in Paris: 2:00 p.m. - 12 hours = 2:00 a.m. (the next day).
- Account for the time difference between Paris (time zone +1) and Vancouver (time zone -8): 2:00 a.m. - 9 hours = 5:00 p.m. (previous day).
Therefore, the plane landed in Vancouver at 5:00 p.m. on the previous day (Tuesday).
c) To calculate the duration of the flight from Vancouver to Honolulu, we need to consider the time difference and the given departure and arrival times.
1. Determine the time difference between Vancouver and Honolulu.
- Vancouver (time zone −8) is 2 hours ahead of Honolulu (time zone −10).
- The time difference is 2 hours.
2. Calculate the duration of the flight.
- The plane left Vancouver at 11:00 a.m. and arrived in Honolulu at 3:00 p.m.
- The flight took 4 hours.
Therefore, the flight from Vancouver to Honolulu took 4 hours.
3pm + 11hrs flight = 2am + 9 hrs TZ = 11 am
do the others in like wise.
