Math Problem Statement

The user query involves calculating the duration of a train journey given the departure and arrival times, considering a flight schedule.

Solution

To solve this problem:

  1. Flight time: Nina's flight departs at 11:30.
  2. Required airport arrival: She needs to arrive 2 hours earlier, which is 9:30.
  3. Latest possible train: The train that arrives at 9:28 is the latest one that gets her to the airport on time.

From the timetable:

  • The departure time for the train arriving at 9:28 is 9:11.
  • The train journey duration is: 9:289:11=17minutes.9:28 - 9:11 = 17 \, \text{minutes}.

Final Answer: The train journey is 17 minutes long.
