d. 21:55

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the departure time

The flight departs at 23:55.

Step2: Calculate the time to be at the airport

We need to subtract 1 hour and 30 minutes from 23:55.
First, subtract 1 hour from 23:55: 23:55 - 1:00 = 22:55.
Then, subtract 30 minutes from 22:55: 22:55 - 0:30 = 22:25. Wait, no, wait. Wait, 23:55 minus 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let's do it step by step. 1 hour and 30 minutes is 90 minutes. 23:55 is 2360 + 55 = 1435 minutes. Subtract 90 minutes: 1435 - 90 = 1345 minutes. Now convert back to hours and minutes: 1345 ÷ 60 = 22 hours with a remainder of 25 minutes. So 22:25? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 23:55 minus 1 hour is 22:55, then minus 30 minutes: 22:55 - 0:30 = 22:25? Wait, no, 55 minutes minus 30 minutes is 25 minutes, and 22 hours remains? Wait, no, 23:55 minus 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let's think again. 23:55 - 1h30m. 1 hour before 23:55 is 22:55, then 30 minutes before 22:55 is 22:25? Wait, no, 22:55 minus 30 minutes: 55 - 30 = 25, so 22:25. But wait, the options: A is 22:25, B is 22:35, C is 21:25, D is 21:55. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the flight is at 23:55, and Emily says you have to be at the airport 1 hour and 30 minutes before. So 23:55 minus 1h30m. Let's convert 23:55 to minutes: 2360 + 55 = 1435 minutes. 1h30m is 90 minutes. 1435 - 90 = 1345 minutes. 1345 ÷ 60 = 22 hours (22*60=1320) with a remainder of 25 minutes. So 22:25, which is option A? Wait, but let's check the options again. Option A is 22:25, B is 22:35, C is 21:25, D is 21:55. So the correct answer should be A? Wait, maybe I miscalculated. Wait, 23:55 minus 1 hour is 22:55, then minus 30 minutes: 22:55 - 0:30. 55 minutes minus 30 minutes is 25 minutes, so 22:25. Yes, so the answer is A.

Answer:

A. 22:25
