A ship began its journey at 06 35 on 15 May and reached its destination 28 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 28 h
= 28 ÷ 24
= 1 r 4
1 day after 15 May = 16 May
(b)
28 h = 24 h + 4 h
24 h after 06 35= 06 35
4 h after 06 35= 10 35
The time that the ship reached its destination = 10 35
Answer(s): (a) 16 May; (b) 10 35
