When it is 2:00 p. m. in New York City, it is 9:00 PM in Athens. If you leave New York at 7:30 a. m. on Wednesday and fly to Athens over the course of 13 hours and 45 minutes, what time will it be in Athens when you land?

a.

2:30 p. m. Wednesday

b.

9:15 p. m. Wednesday

c.

4:15 a. m. Thursday

d.

1:15 p. m. Thursday

First, we determine the difference in the times between New York City and Athens. From the given above, we can conclude that the difference between the times is 7 hours. Then, we determine the time in New York when the arrived in Athens.

Time in New York : 7:30 am + (13 hours + 45 minutes)

= 21:15 or 9:15 pm of Wednesday

Then, we translate this to time in Athens by adding the difference to our answer above,

Time in Athens: 9:15 pm Wednesday + 7 hours

= 4:15 am of Thursday

Thus, the answer is letter C.
