## 32. What time is it?

To answer this question, it is enough to add two fifths of the time that has passed since midnight to the time remaining until noon.
32. Let's denote the unknown time by $h$ (in hours). It is clear that $h$ is the time that has passed since midnight; therefore, the time remaining until noon is 12-h. The condition of the problem can be written as:

$$
h=(12-h)+(2 / 5) h,
$$

from which $h=60 / 8$ hours.

Thus, it is currently 7:30 AM.
