Question

A broken clock loses four minutes every hour . If the broken clock and a normal clock are both set at noon what time will the normal clock say when the broken clock reads 2:20pm

Answer 1

Time in normal clock = 2:30 PM

Explanation:

Given:

Total time = 2:20 Pm

Find:

Time in normal clock

Computation:

Total time = 2:20 = 2.333 hour

Total time losses = 2.333 x 4 min = 9.32 minutes (Approx)

Time in normal clock = 2:20 + 9.32 minutes (Approx)

Time in normal clock = 2:29.32 0r 2:30 PM
