A ship began its journey at 06 40 on 12 May and reached its destination 34 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 34 h
= 34 ÷ 24
= 1 r 10
1 day after 12 May = 13 May
(b)
34 h = 24 h + 10 h
24 h after 06 40= 06 40
10 h after 06 40= 16 40
The time that the ship reached its destination = 16 40
Answer(s): (a) 13 May; (b) 16 40
