If it is now 4:00 p.m. Saturday,in 253 hours from now,what time and day will it be?(Assume no daylight saving time changes in the period.)
(A) 5:00 a.m. Saturday
(B) 1:00 a.m. Sunday
(C) 5:00 p.m. Tuesday
(D) 1:00 a.m. Wednesday
(E) 5:00 a.m. Wednesday
答案:E
解析:
Since each day has 24 hours,divide 253 by 24 to find the number of complete 24-hour intervals in 253 hours and the number of hours remaining after the 24-hour intervals have been accounted for. When 253 is divided by 24,the quotient is 10 and the remainder is 13. The 10 complete 24-hour intervals tell you that 10 days,or one full week plus 3 days,go by,bringing you to Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. The 13 additional hours take you into the next day,Wednesday. The 253hours will end at 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
