Question

Sydney, Australia is 13 hours ahead of my current location. If it's 3:00 pm here, what time is it in Sydney, Australia?

Answer 1

`4:00`am the following day

Explanation:

`3:00`pm `= 15:00` (on the 24 Hr clock)

`15:00 + 13` Hours `= 4:00` `(15+13-24)` the following day.

`= 4:00`am the folowing day

Answer 2

4am the next day

Explanation:

I'm going to use a 24-hour clock for this question to eliminate the whole "AM/PM" thing.

It's "3pm here" - which in a 24 hour clock is 15:00.

Australia is 13 hours ahead - so we add 13 hours:

`15:00+13:00=28:00`

Since the result is greater than 24, we've advanced a day. We subtract 24 hours to get the time:

`28:00-24:00=04:00=4am`
