Answers
Answer:
the train took 26hrs 55mins
Answer:
The total journey took by train is 26 hrs 55 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that a day has 24 hrs.
i.e. from 12:00am - 12:00pm (12 noon) = 12 hrs ⇒ say it first half of the day
from 12 noon - 12 mid night (12 am) = 12hrs ⇒ say it second half of the day
∵ There are 24 hrs in a day.
Given, the train started on monday 9:05 am at kano and reached Lagos on tuesday at 12 noon.
from monday 9:05 am to tuesday 9: 05 am it is 24 hrs ----(1)
from 9:05 am to 10:05 am ⇒ 1 hr
from 10:05 am to 11:05 am ⇒ 1 hr
from 11:05 am to 12 noon ⇒ 55 mins
∵ the total distance travelled by the train = 24 hrs + 1 hr + 1hr + 55 mins
⇒ 26 hrs + 55 mins
⇒ 26 hrs 55 mins or 26.91666 hrs
Therefore, the train duration to travel from kano to Lagos is 26hrs 55mins.
