Notice how 100%2F24=4 remainder 4. So basically, four 24 hr periods elapse in 100 hours plus 4 additional hours.


So this means that we just need to add 4 hours to 10:45 AM to get


10:45 AM + 4 hours = 2:45 PM


So this means that


10:45 AM + 100 hours = 2:45 PM


Of course, we're on a completely different day (but the time is still 2:45 PM)
