Question

Stephen's watch loses time. Stephen set his watch to the correct time at 10 a.M., but noticed three hours later that it read 12:54. If Stephen does not adjust his watch, at what time on his watch should he show up at the restaurant for a 7 o' clock date with Mabel?

Answer 1

6:54

Explanation:

Correct time set = 10 am

Correct time after 3 hours = 10 am + 3 hours

= 1 pm

Steven watch after 3 hours = 12:54

This means Steven watch is 6 minutes behind the normal time

If Stephen does not adjust his watch, at what time on his watch should he show up at the restaurant for a 7 o' clock date with Mabel?

Time Stephen show up for date with Mabel = 7:00 - 6 minutes

= 6:54
