Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a clock loses 2 minutes every hour, how much time will it show after 5 hours if it started at 12:00?
Correct Answer: 11:50
  • Step 1: Understand that the clock loses 2 minutes for every hour.
  • Step 2: Calculate how many hours we are looking at, which is 5 hours.
  • Step 3: Multiply the number of hours (5) by the number of minutes lost per hour (2). This gives us 5 * 2 = 10 minutes lost.
  • Step 4: Start with the initial time, which is 12:00.
  • Step 5: Subtract the total minutes lost (10 minutes) from the initial time (12:00).
  • Step 6: 12:00 minus 10 minutes equals 11:50.
  • Time Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the effect of time loss on a clock over a specified duration.
  • Rate of Loss – Applying the rate of time loss (2 minutes per hour) to determine total loss over multiple hours.
