Pete’s flight: 11:15 AM EST to 1:30 PM CST. Flight duration?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the flight duration from 11:15 AM EST to 1:30 PM CST, it's essential to convert the time zones. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is one hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST). Thus, 11:15 AM EST is equivalent to 10:15 AM CST.

Calculating the duration from 10:15 AM CST to 1:30 PM CST involves finding the difference: from 10:15 AM to 1:15 PM is 3 hours, plus an additional 15 minutes to reach 1:30 PM, totaling 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Options A, C, and D miscalculate the time difference, either by not accounting for the time zone conversion or by incorrectly adding the hours and minutes.
