I’m not sure if I’m right but I tried. First I multiplied 11 times 24, because there's 24 hours in a day, then I got 264. So then I added 21 hours more to it, so then I got 285. So then I divided 285 out of 19, since there is 19 riders, and I got 15. So 15 might be the answer to the problem. (But I’m still not sure, atleast I tried right?)
