A ship began its journey at 08 55 on 14 May and reached its destination 33 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 33 h
= 33 ÷ 24
= 1 r 9
1 day after 14 May = 15 May
(b)
33 h = 24 h + 9 h
24 h after 08 55= 08 55
9 h after 08 55= 17 55
The time that the ship reached its destination = 17 55
Answer(s): (a) 15 May; (b) 17 55
