Question

5. A train left Delhi at 7:30 a.m. on Friday and reached Chennai on Sunday at 5:15

p.m. Find the duration of the journey?

Answer 1

To find the duration of the journey, subtract the departure time from the arrival time in 24-hour format.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the duration of the journey, we need to calculate the number of hours between the departure time and the arrival time. The train left Delhi at 7:30 a.m. on Friday and arrived in Chennai on Sunday at 5:15 p.m.

To calculate the duration in hours, we subtract the departure time from the arrival time:

(Sunday 5:15 p.m.) - (Friday 7:30 a.m.)

We can convert the given times into a 24-hour format and do the calculation:

1. Friday 7:30 a.m. = 07:30
2. Sunday 5:15 p.m. = 17:15

Now we subtract these times:

17:15 - 07:30 = 9 hours and 45 minutes.

Therefore, the duration of the journey is 9 hours and 45 minutes.
