<p>I don't usually expect this kind of problem to be on the SAT, but it was a really difficult one.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a simple way that helps approach this question?</p>
<p>All I did was divide 253 hours by 24 (hours in a day) to see that the answer I was looking for was approximately ten and a half days (~10.54) from Saturday. </p>
<p>Saturday at 4 PM + 10 Days = Tuesday 4 PM </p>
<p>Tuesday at 4 PM + (1/2) day = ~Wednesday 4 AM</p>
<p>Answer: Wednesday 5 AM</p>
<p>If you just break the question down into simple steps, it should become much easier for you.</p>
<p>253=13(mod 24) and 13 hours from 4 pm is 5 am</p>
<p>^^^^^^
That’s what I did.</p>
