To find the initial time for the train journey from Indianapolis to Chicago, we need to calculate the duration of the trip.
The train departs at 6:00 a.m. and arrives at 11:30 a.m. on the same day.
Calculating the duration:
- From 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. is 5 hours.
- From 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. is an additional 30 minutes.
So, the total travel time is 5 hours and 30 minutes.
The initial time the train leaves is 6:00 a.m.
