Suppose it is now 4:00 PM. What time will it be in 253 hours? Label your answer AM or

PM.

I think the answer is 5:00 AM, but I don't know how to explain. Please help! (4th grade level explanation)

253 = 24*10 + 13
so, it will be 10 days and 13 hours later, or 5:00 AM

So, why did you think it was 5:00 AM? Too bad you couldn't be bothered to show your work (if any).
