To find out how long you will have to wait for the ride, we need to subtract the time saved by the fast pass from the total wait time.

  1. Total Wait Time: 2 hours and 34 minutes

    • 2 hours and 34 minutes = 2 + 34/60 = 2.5667 hours (approximately)
  2. Time Saved by Fast Pass: 1 hour and 12 minutes

    • 1 hour and 12 minutes = 1 + 12/60 = 1.2 hours
  3. Time Remaining After Using Fast Pass:

    • Total Wait Time - Time Saved = 2.5667 hours - 1.2 hours = 1.3667 hours
  4. Convert Remaining Time Back to Hours and Minutes:

    • 1.3667 hours = 1 hour and (0.3667 * 60) minutes = 1 hour and approximately 22 minutes.

Thus, the remaining wait time is 1 hour and 22 minutes.

Looking at your response options, it appears 1 23 hours might have been intended to mean 1 hour and 23 minutes, but based on the calculation, the correct answer is closer to 1 hour and 22 minutes or alternatively, if rounded, it might be considered as approximately 1 hour and 15 to 25 minutes in some contexts. Therefore, you could select 1 14 hours if that was meant to approximate. However, strictly speaking, your wait time is about 1 hour and 22 minutes.
