A ship began its journey at 07 15 on 11 May and reached its destination 30 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 30 h
= 30 ÷ 24
= 1 r 6
1 day after 11 May = 12 May
(b)
30 h = 24 h + 6 h
24 h after 07 15= 07 15
6 h after 07 15= 13 15
The time that the ship reached its destination = 13 15
Answer(s): (a) 12 May; (b) 13 15
