Two sailors traveled by bus from one point to another. The trip took 15 hours, and they left their point of origin at 8 a.m. What time did they arrive at their destination?

1 answer

If the sailors left at 8 a.m. and the trip took 15 hours, you can find the arrival time by adding 15 hours to the departure time.

Starting from 8 a.m.:

  • 8 a.m. + 12 hours = 8 p.m. (after 12 hours)
  • Then, add the remaining 3 hours:
    • 8 p.m. + 3 hours = 11 p.m.

So, the sailors arrived at their destination at 11 p.m.
