Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Time (Section 2 - No. 48)
If Aamud leaves home at 13:48 and drives for 4.8 hours, at what time does he arrive?
17:28
18:28
19:28
18:30
Explanation
4.8 hours is 4 hours and (0.8*60) = 48 minutes. So 13:48 + 4 hours and 48 minutes. 13:48 + 4 hours 48 minutes = 18:36. Close but not correct. Let's try again. Aamud leaves home at 13:48 (1:48 pm) and drives for 4.8 hours: 4 hours and 0.8 x 60 minutes = 48 minutes. Total driving time is 4 hours 48 mins. Therefore: 1:48 pm + 4 hrs 48 mins = 6:36 pm. Wrong choice. Ok, the provided answer is not what I computed. Must compute by 4.8 x 60 + 13:48
