Answer: 2 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

How many hours does the plane save?

Time taken for the train = 5 1/8

Time taken for the plane = 2 2/3

The number of hours saved will then be:

= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3

Let the lowest common multiple be 24

= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24

= 2 11/24

The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24
