A ship began its journey at 07 40 on 15 May and reached its destination 31 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 31 h
= 31 ÷ 24
= 1 r 7
1 day after 15 May = 16 May
(b)
31 h = 24 h + 7 h
24 h after 07 40= 07 40
7 h after 07 40= 14 40
The time that the ship reached its destination = 14 40
Answer(s): (a) 16 May; (b) 14 40
