A ship began its journey at 07 25 on 11 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 11 May = 12 May
(b)
34 h = 24 h + 10 h
24 h after 07 25= 07 25
10 h after 07 25= 17 25
The time that the ship reached its destination = 17 25
Answer(s): (a) 12 May; (b) 17 25
