Read the following SAT test question and then click on a button to select your answer.
If it is now 4:00 p.m. Saturday, in 
hours from now, what time and day will it be? (Assume no daylight saving time changes in the period.)
Hint
Since each day has 
hours, it is a good idea to divide 
by 
to find the number of complete 
intervals in 
hours and the number of hours remaining after the 
intervals have been accounted for.
hours, divide 
by 
to find the number of complete 
intervals in 
hours and the number of hours remaining after the 
intervals have been accounted for. When 
is divided by 
, the quotient is 
and the remainder is 
. The 
complete 
intervals tell you that 
days, or one full week plus 
days, go by, bringing you to Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. The 
additional hours take you into the next day, Wednesday. The 
hours will end at 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
