A ship began its journey at 08 25 on 15 May and reached its destination 25 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 25 h
= 25 ÷ 24
= 1 r 1
1 day after 15 May = 16 May
(b)
25 h = 24 h + 1 h
24 h after 08 25= 08 25
1 h after 08 25= 9 25
The time that the ship reached its destination = 9 25
Answer(s): (a) 16 May; (b) 9 25
