Athletix Says....Solve the math question...

Best of clocks, how much of the day has gone?" asked Linda. Replied the clock, "There remains one third as much time as has gone." Given the day starts at 12:00 midnight, what is the time?

Like Im reading up on how to solve it, it says for it to work out 18 must have gone by and 1/3rd remaining is 6=6:00pm being the answer, but it's not like they said 12 is 2/4th or 12 hours have gone by, it just says 12 midnight is the start of the day.......idk lol
 
You guys disappoint me. That's a simple math-word problem. lol

I had to look at it just because of the attention you were giving it.

day = 24 hours

1/3x + x = 24

1/3(18) = 6 + 18 = 24

Starting from midnight, add 18 hours.

Arrive at 6 PM

But 1/3rd of 24 = 8, so how do they get 18?

You're looking for a certain amount of the day that has already happened (x). One-third of that number remains (1/3x). So if you add those two together, you'll get 24. So you work backwards. We know that it has to be a number divisible by 3, so rather than even deal with the math of moving things around, you can try a few numbers: 1/3 of 12 = 4 -> added to 12 = 16, so we know that's not right. 1/3 of 15 = 5 -> added to 15 = 20. 1/3 of 18 = 6 -> added to 18 = 24. Bingo.
 
And people say you'll never used algebra outside of school. Lol \m/0.0\m/
