Question

What time is it if half of what has already passed remains until the end of today?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a day contains 24 hours in total.

The time already passed will be represented by $x$.

The remaining time would be $\frac{x}{2}$, becasye half of what has already passed remains until the end of the day.

Basically, the sum of these two expression gives 24 hours in total.

$x + \frac{x}{2} =24\\\frac{3x}{2}=24\\ x=16$

Therefore, the actual time is 4 p.m.
