Question
You have a clock that only shows time in a 12-hour format. If it's currently 4:30 PM, what will be the time after 137 hours?
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to determine how many full days (24 hours) are in 137 hours. To do this, we divide 137 by 24. The result is approximately 5.7 days.
-
The integer part of the result (5 days) is the number of full days. The decimal part (.7) represents the remaining hours. To find out how many hours .7 of a day is, we multiply .7 by 24, which gives us approximately 17 hours.
-
Now, we add these 5 days and 17 hours to the current time (4:30 PM).
-
Adding 5 days to the current day doesn't change the time, because every 24 hours the clock shows the same time. So, we just need to add 17 hours to 4:30 PM.
-
If we add 12 hours to 4:30 PM, we get 4:30 AM of the next day. We still need to add 5 more hours, which brings us to 9:30 AM.
So, the time on the clock after 137 hours will be 9:30 AM.
