Question

My kitchen clock is working properly but was showing 14:02, which I know is the wrong time, when I left to walk to my friend's house for coffee. My friend's clock, which is correct, was showing 14:25 when I arrived and 15:08 when I left. I walked home at the same speed as when I went, and when I arrived home my clock was showing 15:56. I then adjusted my clock to the correct time.

Answer 1

The student's question requires calculations related to time, including adding and subtracting measures of time and dealing with the accuracy of timekeeping devices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provided by the student involves calculating and understanding the concept of time, particularly the time it takes to walk to a friend's house and return. It focuses on determining the correct time using another clock and then adjusting the original clock based on the elapsed walking time. This situation requires applying arithmetic calculations related to adding and subtracting measures of time as well as considering clock accuracy and properties of time measurement.
