Question

A clock loses 10 minutes each hour.

If the clock is set correctly at noon,what time is it when it reads 3 PM ?

Answer 1

3:36 PM.

The clock loses 10 minutes each hour,

so it loses 5 minutes every half-hour,

and it loses 1 minute very 6 minutes.

It is 12:50 PM at 1:00 o'clock.

It is 1:40 PM at 2:00 o'clock.

It is 2:30 PM at 3:00 o'clock.

It is 2:55 PM at 3:30 o'clock.

It is 3:00 PM at 3:36 o'clock.

Hope it helped mah friend :)
