A ship began its journey at 07 45 on 14 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 14 May = 15 May
(b)
36 h = 24 h + 12 h
24 h after 07 45= 07 45
12 h after 07 45= 19 45
The time that the ship reached its destination = 19 45
Answer(s): (a) 15 May; (b) 19 45
