Math Problem Statement
It is 2:00 pm and you are told that if you know what time it will be in 388 hours you get a prize. What time do you say it will be to win the prize?
Solution
To determine the exact time after 388 hours, let’s break this down step-by-step:
-
Convert hours into days and leftover hours:
So, 388 hours is equivalent to 16 full days and 4 extra hours. -
Starting at 2:00 PM:
- After 16 full days, the time remains 2:00 PM (since we return to the same time after each 24-hour day cycle).
- Now, add the 4 extra hours:
-
Final Answer: The time 388 hours from 2:00 PM will be 6:00 PM, 16 days later.
