If the number of hours left in the day is half the number of hours already passed, what time is it?

The time is 4:00 PM.

8 hours left in the day and 16 hours already passed.

To solve,

Hours left is a, so hours already passed = 2a.

We know a + 2a = 24

3a = 24

a = 8

2a = 16

So, time is 4 PM.
