Suppose a standard twelve-hour clock now shows a time of 10:45. What time will the clock show 100 hours from now?

It should show 2:45. You can use 12 hr increments to get you back to 10:45 and 12 goes into 100 nine times bringing it to 96. Because of that you have 4 more hours to add to 10:45 and that brings you to 2:45.

there are 24 hours in a day 100/24= 4 and 4/24
so you can cancel out the 4 days because in 4 days the time will be the same so the 4/24 means that you add the 4 hours to the 10:45 to get 2:45 after 4 days

The clock will display 2:45 after 100 hours from the current time of 10:45. This is determined by calculating how many complete 12-hour cycles fit into 100 hours and adding the remaining hours to the initial time. The final result shows that the clock reads 2:45 on a standard twelve-hour clock after this duration.
