The clock that gains 2 minutes every 24 hours will show 9:04 at 9:00 on Wednesday morning
The image shows a clock that gains 2 minutes every 24 hours. It is set to 9:00 on Monday morning. We want to know what time it will show at 9:00 on Wednesday morning.
There are 24 hours in a day, so from Monday morning to Wednesday morning there are 24 * 2 = 48 hours.
The clock gains 2 minutes every 24 hours, so in 48 hours it will gain 2 * 2 = 4 minutes.
Therefore, at 9:00 on Wednesday morning, the clock will show 9:04.
The clock that gains 2 minutes every 24 hours is set to 9:00 on Monday morning. We want to know what time it will show at 9:00 on Wednesday morning.
To solve this problem, we need to first calculate how many minutes the clock will gain in 48 hours. Since the clock gains 2 minutes every 24 hours, it will gain 2 * 2 = 4 minutes in 48 hours.
Therefore, at 9:00 on Wednesday morning, the clock will show 9:04.
We can also solve this problem using the following steps:
Calculate the number of 24-hour periods between Monday morning and Wednesday morning. There are 24 * 2 = 48 hours between Monday morning and Wednesday morning, so there are 48 / 24 = 2 24-hour periods.
Calculate the total number of minutes that the clock gains in 2 24-hour periods. The clock gains 2 minutes every 24 hours, so it will gain 2 * 2 = 4 minutes in 2 24-hour periods.
Add the number of minutes that the clock gains to the current time. The current time is 9:00, and the clock will gain 4 minutes, so the clock will show 9:04 at 9:00 on Wednesday morning.
