Answer to Question #259771 in Discrete Mathematics for rtf

Question

It is 8:00 AM in our 24 hour world. What time is it in a 3 hour world? 

Answer 1

In 24 hour format, there are three shifts of 8 hours that equal to 24 hours (8*3). 8:00 AM in a 24 hour world is one third time of a single day.

$=\frac{8}{24}=\frac{1}{3}$

Then, this time in a 3 hour world is:

$=\frac{1}{3}\times3=1$

In a 3 hour world, 8:00 AM of 24 hour world can be 1 AM or PM.
