The rest of the day is twice as long as the last part. What time is it now?

Let’s express the rest of the day in t, then the past part will look like this: t / 2. There are 24 hours a day. Now we compose an equation and solve it:

t + t / 2 = 24;

2t / 2 + t / 2 = 24;

3t / 2 = 24;

t * 3/2 = 24;

t = 24: 3/2;

t = 24 * 2/3;

t = 16 hours – the rest of the day.

Let’s calculate the elapsed part of the day:

t / 2 = 16/2 = 8 hours – the past part of the day.

Since the day starts at 00 o’clock, we will calculate what time it is now:

0 + 8 = 8 o’clock – morning time is now.

Answer: it is 8 o’clock in the morning now.
