Final answer:

To determine how much faster a clock runs in a week when it gains one minute per hour, you multiply the number of hours in a week (168) by the rate of gain (1 minute), resulting in the clock running 168 minutes faster over the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about how a clock runs faster over a period of one week if it runs one minute faster every hour. To calculate this, we can use a simple multiplication. There are 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week, which totals 168 hours in one week. If the clock runs one minute faster each hour, we multiply the number of hours in a week by the rate at which the clock is gaining time:

  • 1 minute faster/hour × 168 hours/week = 168 minutes faster/week

Therefore, the clock runs 168 minutes faster in a week.
