A ship began its journey at 07 55 on 13 May and reached its destination 25 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 25 h
= 25 ÷ 24
= 1 r 1
1 day after 13 May = 14 May
(b)
25 h = 24 h + 1 h
24 h after 07 55= 07 55
1 h after 07 55= 8 55
The time that the ship reached its destination = 8 55
Answer(s): (a) 14 May; (b) 8 55
