A ship began its journey at 08 15 on 13 May and reached its destination 27 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 27 h
= 27 ÷ 24
= 1 r 3
1 day after 13 May = 14 May
(b)
27 h = 24 h + 3 h
24 h after 08 15= 08 15
3 h after 08 15= 11 15
The time that the ship reached its destination = 11 15
Answer(s): (a) 14 May; (b) 11 15
