Question

If a day is 1 whole 1 by 2 hours longer than the night, what is the length of each? Assume that 1 day and 1 night together =24 hours​

Answer 1

Answer:

length of night = 11 hr 15 min

length of day = 12 hr 45 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1 whole 1/2 = 1.5

let, the length of night = x hrs

therefore, length of day = x + 1.5 hrs

atq,  x + (x + 1.5) = 24

or,   2x = 24 - 1.5 = 22.5

or,   x = 11.25 hrs = 11 hr 15 min    [0.25 hr x 60 = 15 min]

∴ length of day=x + 1.5 = 12.75 hrs = 12 hr 45 min  [0.75 x 60= 45 min]

length of night = 11 hr 15 min
