Question

Jill has a clock that slows down 1 1/3 minutes each day.

1) How many minutes slower will the clock be after 2 days?

Answer 1

2 2/3

Explanation:

First day: 1 1/3 slower

second day: (add first and 1 1/3) 2 2/3

Answer 2

If it slows by 1 1/3 every day, then he loses 80 seconds every day.

After two days, it will have been slower by:

160 seconds (seconds form)

or

2.66 minutes (decimal form)

or

2 2/3 minutes (fraction form)
