Answer 1

Answer: 7777 hours late in Washington D.C. would be 11:00 a.m on January 20th of the following year

Explanation:

Answer 2

To determine the day and time 7777 hours later in Washington, D.C., we first need to determine the time difference between Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C. Portland is in the Pacific Time Zone, while Washington, D.C., is in the Eastern Time Zone. The time difference between the two zones is 3 hours, with Eastern Time being ahead of Pacific Time.

So, if it is 7:00 a.m. in Portland, it would be 10:00 a.m. in Washington, D.C.

Next, we need to calculate the number of days that pass in 7777 hours. Since there are 24 hours in a day, we can divide 7777 by 24 to get the number of days:

7777 ÷ 24 = 324 remainder 1

So, 7777 hours is equal to 324 days and 1 hour.

Finally, we can add 324 days and 1 hour to the current time in Washington, D.C.:

10:00 a.m. on March 1 + 324 days and 1 hour = 11:00 a.m. on January 20 of the following year.

Therefore, 7777 hours later in Washington, D.C., would be 11:00 a.m. on January 20 of the following year.
