Answer:

Explanation:

Divide 712 hours by 24 hours/day, obtaining 29 2/3 days, which in turn breaks down into 28 days plus 1 2/3 days, or 4 weeks plus 1 2/3 days. '4 weeks' takes us to a Monday, 22:48, 4 weeks after the start of the journey.

To this we add 1 2/3 days, reaching 16 hours into the Tuesday immediately following that Monday. That would be approximately 16:00 on that Tuesday, but we must work backwards 1:12 hours: subtracting 1:12 from 16:00 on Tuesday yields 14:48

The journey finishes at 14:48 4 weeks and 1 day after it began.
