A ship began its journey at 06 25 on 13 May and reached its destination 26 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 26 h
= 26 ÷ 24
= 1 r 2
1 day after 13 May = 14 May
(b)
26 h = 24 h + 2 h
24 h after 06 25= 06 25
2 h after 06 25= 8 25
The time that the ship reached its destination = 8 25
Answer(s): (a) 14 May; (b) 8 25
