A ship began its journey at 08 10 on 14 May and reached its destination 28 hours later.
- On what date did the ship reach its destination?
- At what time did the ship reach its destination?
(a)
1 day = 24 hours
Number of days in 28 h
= 28 ÷ 24
= 1 r 4
1 day after 14 May = 15 May
(b)
28 h = 24 h + 4 h
24 h after 08 10= 08 10
4 h after 08 10= 12 10
The time that the ship reached its destination = 12 10
Answer(s): (a) 15 May; (b) 12 10
