Answer:
A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.
C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.

Answer:
4 hours 40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate relation is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (3800 km)/(900 km/h) +(400 km)/(900 km/h) = (38+4)/9 h
= 14/3 h = 4 2/3 h
Seema's flight time is 4 hours 40 minutes.
__
2/3 of 60 minutes is 40 minutes
