The crew of US submarines work on an 18-hour cycle rather than a 24-hour day. They divide into three ‘watches’, each working for 6 hours, with a meal break for the half hour immediately before and another for the half hour immediately after work. The watches change at 05:30, 11:30, 17:30 and 23:30 Universal Time, no matter where in the world they are. How much time for meal breaks does a member of the crew get in a 72-hour (3-day) period?

Group of answer choices

4 hours

4 1/2 hours

3 hours

It depends when the period starts

i want to say 4 hours i am not that sure but iv done this multiple times and i still got 4 hours in my head with my time stamp

Explanation:

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
