Answer: 8:30 PM on a Saturday

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

24 hours = 1 full day

53/24 = (48+5)/24

53/24 = 48/24 + 5/24

53/24 = 2 + (5/24)

53/24 = 2 remainder 5

The result of the division says we get 2 as a whole number, plus a remainder of 5. Therefore, 2 full days have gone by plus a fractional amount of 5/24 of a day, i.e. 5 extra hours.

If today is Thursday, then 2 full days later is Saturday

While the "2 full days" portion changes the calendar day, it does not change the clock. Two full days after 3:30 PM will be still 3:30 PM (just on a different day of course).

The extra 5 hours portion is what changes the clock. Add this to 3:30 and you'll get to 8:30 PM

Therefore, it will be 8:30 PM on a Saturday
