A plane leaves Charlottetown, PEI at 12:00pm on Saturday, May 2nd. The destination is Yellowknife, NWT. The flight takes 17 hour
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: 5am on Sunday, May 3rd.

Explanation:

Plane left at 12pm and takes 17 hours.

Add 12 and 17:

= 12 + 17

= 29

There are 24 hours in a day. The number of hours into the next day is therefore:

= 29 - 24

= 5 hours

If the plan arrives 5 hours into the next day, that would mean that it arrived at 5am. Date of the next day is May 3rd, a Sunday.
