A ship began its journey at 08 30 on 12 May and reached its destination 32 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 32 h
= 32 ÷ 24
= 1 r 8
1 day after 12 May = 13 May
(b)
32 h = 24 h + 8 h
24 h after 08 30= 08 30
8 h after 08 30= 16 30
The time that the ship reached its destination = 16 30
Answer(s): (a) 13 May; (b) 16 30
