A ship began its journey at 06 15 on 15 May and reached its destination 35 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 35 h
= 35 ÷ 24
= 1 r 11
1 day after 15 May = 16 May
(b)
35 h = 24 h + 11 h
24 h after 06 15= 06 15
11 h after 06 15= 17 15
The time that the ship reached its destination = 17 15
Answer(s): (a) 16 May; (b) 17 15
