A clock loses 10 minutes each hour.
If the clock is set correctly at noon,what time is it when it reads 3 PM ?
thank you!
Every minute.....the correct tme is (6/5) of a minute ahead of our clock
To see this......50 minutes after noon by our clock = 12:50PM.....but.....the correct tme is (50) * (6/5) = 10 * 6 = 60 minutes after noon =1 PM
And 100 minutes after noon by our clock = 1:40PM but the correct time is 100 * (6/5) = 120 min after noon = 2PM
So when our clock shows 3PM (180 minutes after noon)....the correct time is actually 180 (6/5) =
36 * 6 = 216 minutes after noon = 3 hrs 36 min after noon = 3:36 PM
