A ship began its journey at 09 35 on 15 May and reached its destination 27 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 27 h
= 27 ÷ 24
= 1 r 3
1 day after 15 May = 16 May
(b)
27 h = 24 h + 3 h
24 h after 09 35= 09 35
3 h after 09 35= 12 35
The time that the ship reached its destination = 12 35
Answer(s): (a) 16 May; (b) 12 35
