A ship began its journey at 08 40 on 13 May and reached its destination 36 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 36 h
= 36 ÷ 24
= 1 r 12
1 day after 13 May = 14 May
(b)
36 h = 24 h + 12 h
24 h after 08 40= 08 40
12 h after 08 40= 20 40
The time that the ship reached its destination = 20 40
Answer(s): (a) 14 May; (b) 20 40
