Demonstrate the use of partitioning for computing what time it will be 247 hours after 8pm.

Answer 1

To compute what time it will be 247 hours after 8 pm using partitioning, we can break down the time into smaller units. There are 24 hours in a day, so we can divide 247 hours by 24 to find how many days have passed. The time 247 hours later will be at 8 pm, 10 days later.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To compute what time it will be 247 hours after 8 pm using partitioning, we can break down the time into smaller units. There are 24 hours in a day, so we can divide 247 hours by 24 to find how many days have passed. 247 divided by 24 equals 10, with a remainder of 7 hours.
2. We know that 8 pm is the starting point, so if we add 10 days to 8 pm, we will get the time 247 hours later. Since each day has 24 hours, the time 10 days later will be at 8 pm as well. So, the answer is 8 pm, 10 days later.
