Question

What time will it be after 1275 hours, if the present time is 9:00 p.m.?

• A. 11 p.m.
• B. 12 p.m.
• C. 9 p.m.
• D. 9 a.m.

Hint:

To find the time after a given number of hours, divide by 24 and use the remainder to determine the shift in hours.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Divide 1275 hours by 24 to find the remainder: \[ 1275 \div 24 = 53 \, {quotient} \, {with} \, 3 \, {remainder}. \] 
Step 2: The remainder 3 means the time advances by 3 hours from 9:00 p.m., which is 9:00 p.m. the next day.
