How many minutes before 12 noon is it if 48 minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 9 AM? Thanks for help.
44 minutes or 11:16am
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to convert everything into minutes
12 noon = 12×60=720 minutes
9am=9×60=540 minutes
let x= number of minutes before noon
the time now is 12noon -x =720-x minutes
48 minutes ago it was 720-x-48 minutes
720-x-48=540+2x
720-48-540=2x+x
132=3x
x=132/3
x=44 minutes
x=44minutes or 11:16 am
HOPE IT HELPS U!!!
