A ship began its journey at 06 10 on 12 May and reached its destination 29 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 29 h
= 29 ÷ 24
= 1 r 5
1 day after 12 May = 13 May
(b)
29 h = 24 h + 5 h
24 h after 06 10= 06 10
5 h after 06 10= 11 10
The time that the ship reached its destination = 11 10
Answer(s): (a) 13 May; (b) 11 10
